medium Nessus Plugin ID 35766

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of MySQL 5.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.1.32 and is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability.
Specifically, an authenticated user can cause an assertion failure leading to a server crash by calling 'ExtractValue()' or 'UpdateXML()' using an XPath expression employing a scalar expression as a 'FilterExpr'.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL Community Server version 5.1.32 or later.
