critical Nessus Plugin ID 91239

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

A double-free flaw was found in the way OpenSSL parsed certain malformed DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) private keys. An attacker could create specially crafted DSA private keys that, when processed by an application compiled against OpenSSL, could cause the application to crash. (CVE-2016-0705)

The ssl_verify_server_cert function in sql-common/client.c in Oracle MySQL 5.6.29 and earlier does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a '/CN=' string in a field in a certificate, as demonstrated by '/OU=/CN=bar.com/CN=foo.com'. (CVE-2016-2047)

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via vectors related to Pluggable Authentication.
(CVE-2016-0639)

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.6.29 and earlier allows local users to affect availability via vectors related to FTS.

(CVE-2016-0643)

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.6.29 and earlier allows local users to affect availability via vectors related to Security:
Privileges. (CVE-2016-0666)
