The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 8.0.x prior to 8.0.22. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following, as noted in the October 2020 Critical Patch Update advisory:

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Security: LDAP Auth).   Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.21 and prior.
