Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for mariadb55-mariadb.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1647 advisory.

MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server that is binary compatible with MySQL.

It was found that the MySQL client library permitted but did not require a client to use SSL/TLS when establishing a secure connection to a MySQL server using the --ssl option. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to strip the SSL/TLS protection from a connection between a client and a server. (CVE-2015-3152)

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MariaDB database server.
Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2015-0501, CVE-2015-2568, CVE-2015-0499, CVE-2015-2571, CVE-2015-0433, CVE-2015-0441, CVE-2015-0505, CVE-2015-2573, CVE-2015-2582, CVE-2015-2620, CVE-2015-2643, CVE-2015-2648, CVE-2015-4737, CVE-2015-4752, CVE-2015-4757)

These updated packages upgrade MariaDB to version 5.5.44. Refer to the MariaDB Release Notes listed in the References section for a complete list of changes.

All MariaDB users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing this update, the MariaDB server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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

Update the RHEL mariadb55-mariadb package based on the guidance in RHSA-2015:1647.
