Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL Community Server 5.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.1.52 and thus potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- An error exists in the handling of 'EXPLAIN' for a 'SELECT' statement from a derived table which can cause the server to crash. (54488)

- An error exists in the handling of 'EXPLAIN EXTENDED' when used in some prepared statements, which can cause the server to crash. (54494)

- The server does not check the type of values assigned to items of type 'GeometryCollection'. Such assignments can cause the server to crash. (55531)

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL Community Server 5.1.52 or later.
