medium Nessus Plugin ID 17810

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is susceptible to a denial of service attack.

Description

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 4.1.18 / 5.0.19 / 5.1.6 and thus reportedly allows a remote, authenticated user to crash the server via the str_to_date function.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 4.1.18 / 5.0.19 / 5.1.6 or later.
