Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for mariadb-galera.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1937 advisory.

MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server that is binary compatible with MySQL. Galera is a synchronous multi-master cluster for MariaDB.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MariaDB database server.

(CVE-2014-4274, CVE-2014-4287, CVE-2014-6463, CVE-2014-6464, CVE-2014-6469, CVE-2014-6484, CVE-2014-6505, CVE-2014-6507, CVE-2014-6520, CVE-2014-6530, CVE-2014-6551, CVE-2014-6555, CVE-2014-6559, CVE-2012-5615, CVE-2014-4258, CVE-2014-4260, CVE-2014-2494, CVE-2014-4207)
