Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.0.51a / 5.1.23 / 6.0.4 and thus reportedly affected by the following two vulnerabilities :

- An attacker may be able to cause the federated handler and daemon to crash when the federated engine issues a SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE query by having a malicious server return a response with less than 14 columns.
(MySQL bug #29801 / CVE-2007-6304)

- It fails to update the DEFINER value of a view when that is altered, which could allow an authenticated user to gain additional access through the ALTER VIEW. (MySQL bug #29908 / CVE-2007-6303)

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.0.51a / 5.1.23 / 6.0.4 or later.
