Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of mariadb installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.68-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2057 advisory.

get_sort_by_table in MariaDB before 10.6.2 allows an application crash via certain subquery uses of ORDER BY. (CVE-2021-46657)

MariaDB before 10.7.2 allows an application crash because it does not recognize that SELECT_LEX::nest_level is local to each VIEW. (CVE-2021-46659)

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 before 10.6.2 allows an application crash because of mishandling of a pushdown from a HAVING clause to a WHERE clause. (CVE-2021-46666)

An integer overflow vulnerability was found in MariaDB, where an invalid size of ref_pointer_array is allocated. This issue results in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-46667)

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)

An issue in the component my_decimal::operator= of MariaDB Server v10.6.3 and below was discovered to allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via specially crafted SQL statements. (CVE-2022-27380)

An issue in the component Item_subselect::init_expr_cache_tracker of MariaDB Server v10.6 and below was discovered to allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via specially crafted SQL statements.
(CVE-2022-27384)

MariaDB Server before 10.7 is vulnerable to Denial of Service. While executing the plugin/server_audit/server_audit.c method log_statement_ex, the held lock lock_bigbuffer is not released correctly, which allows local users to trigger a denial of service due to the deadlock. (CVE-2022-31624)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update mariadb' to update your system.
