MariaDB 10.2.0 < 10.2.43 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 157911

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.2.43. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mdb-10243-rn advisory.

 - MariaDB through 10.5.9 allows an application crash in find_field_in_tables and find_order_in_list via an unused common table expression (CTE). (CVE-2021-46661)

 - MariaDB through 10.5.13 allows a ha_maria::extra application crash via certain SELECT statements.
 (CVE-2021-46663)

 - MariaDB through 10.5.9 allows an application crash in sub_select_postjoin_aggr for a NULL value of aggr.
 (CVE-2021-46664)

 - MariaDB through 10.5.9 allows a sql_parse.cc application crash because of incorrect used_tables expectations. (CVE-2021-46665)

 - MariaDB through 10.5.9 allows an application crash via certain long SELECT DISTINCT statements that improperly interact with storage-engine resource limitations for temporary data structures.
 (CVE-2021-46668)

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

Solution

Upgrade to MariaDB version 10.2.43 or later.
