The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.22. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5-5-22-release-notes advisory.

 - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.61 and earlier, and 5.5.21 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability, related to Server DML. (CVE-2012-1688)
