MySQL Binary Log SQL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 64503

Language:

Synopsis

The database server running on the remote host has multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.33 / 5.6.x earlier than 5.6.13 and is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities. User-supplied identifiers are not properly quoted before being written into the binary log. An attacker with a valid account and privileges to modify data could exploit this to modify tables that they should not have access to.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.5.33 / 5.6.13 or later.
