MySQL 5.5.x < 5.5.45 / 5.6.x < 5.6.26 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 85223

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.45 or 5.6.x prior to 5.6.26. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A buffer overflow condition exists in mysqlslap due to improper validation of user-supplied input when parsing options. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

- A flaw exists when handling CHAR(0) NOT NULL column operations. An attacker can exploit this to cause the server to exit, resulting in a denial of service.

- A use-after-free error exists whenever the Enterprise Firewall and Binary Logging components are both enabled.
An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.

- An off-by-one overflow exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input by the functions related to string copying. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.5.45 / 5.6.26 or later.
