MySQL 5.1 < 5.1.71 Server Optimizer Denial of Service

critical Nessus Plugin ID 70461

Synopsis

The remote database server may be affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of MySQL 5.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.1.71. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the 'Server Optimizer' component.

Note: Oracle has provided a workaround to address the issue for CVE-2012-2750.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.1.71 or later.
