Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.15 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where MySQL Connectors executes to compromise MySQL Connectors. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of MySQL Connectors. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - mysql-connector-java: Connector/J unspecified vulnerability (CPU October 2018) (CVE-2018-3258)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.34 and earlier allows     remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to     Connector/J. (CVE-2015-2575)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.1.40 and earlier. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low     privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Connectors. While the     vulnerability is in MySQL Connectors, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of MySQL Connectors. (CVE-2017-3523)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The version of Oracle MySQL Connectors installed on the remote host is 8.0.x prior to 8.0.16 or 5.3.x prior to 5.3.13.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the April 2019 Critical Patch Update advisory:

  - An unspecified vulnerability in Connector/J subcomponent. An authenticated attacker can exploit this issue, to     take a full control over the target system. (CVE-2019-2692)

  - A padding oracle vulnerability exists in Connector/ODBC (OpenSSL) subcomponent. If the application is configured     to use 'non-stitched' ciphersuits, a remote attacker can trigger a fatal protocol error condition. The vulnerable     application presents a padding related error messages which allow attacker to decrypt data. (CVE-2019-1559)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
