low Nessus Plugin ID 69699

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed HANDLER READ NEXT statements after deleting a record. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to provide such requests, causing mysqld to crash.
This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2012-2102)

Solution

Run 'yum update mysql51' to update your system.
