MySQL 5.5.x < 5.5.49 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 90682

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 5.5.49. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Federated subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity and availability. (CVE-2016-0642)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0643)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the FTS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0647)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the PS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0647)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Security: Privileges subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
 (CVE-2016-0666)

 - A man-in-the-middle spoofing vulnerability exists due to the server hostname not being verified to match a domain name in the Subject's Common Name (CN) or SubjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this, by spoofing the TLS/SSL server via a certificate that appears valid, to disclose sensitive information or manipulate transmitted data.
 (CVE-2016-2047)

 - A flaw exists related to certificate validation due to the server hostname not being verified to match a domain name in the X.509 certificate. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this, by spoofing the TLS/SSL server via a certificate that appears valid, to disclose sensitive information or manipulate data.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.5.49 or later.
