Oracle MySQL 5.5.x < 5.5.48 Multiple Vulnerabilities (April 2016 CPU)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 90829

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Oracle MySQL installed on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.48. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity and availability. (CVE-2016-0640)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the MyISAM subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0641)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the DDL subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0644)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0646)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the PS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0649)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Replication subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
 (CVE-2016-0650)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the bundled OpenSSL library due to improper handling of variables declared as TEXT or BLOB. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt data or cause a denial of service condition.

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists that is triggered when handling a 'CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ..
 SELECT' statement involving BIT columns. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to create an improper table or cause the server to exit, resulting in a denial of service condition.

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to an unspecified flaw in LOCK TABLES that is triggered when opening a temporary MERGE table consisting of a view in the list of tables. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause the server to exit, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.5.48 or later.
