Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a version of the MySQL database which is older than 4.0.21 or 3.23.59.

MySQL is a database which runs on both Linux/BSD and Windows platform.
The remote version of this software is vulnerable to specially crafted 'ALTER TABLE SQL' query which can be exploited to bypass some applied security restrictions or cause a denial of service.

To exploit this flaw, an attacker would need the ability to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the remote host.

Solution

Upgrade to the latest version of MySQL 3.23.59 or 4.0.21 or newer.
