Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.63. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability as referenced in the mdb-5563-rn advisory. This vulnerability is in the 'Server: Optimizer' subcomponent of MariaDB and allows a low privileged attacker to perform a denial of service attack with network access via multiple protocols.

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