MySQL 5.7.x < 5.7.13 Multiple Vulnerabilities

low Nessus Plugin ID 91997

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.7.x prior to 5.7.13. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function within file crypto/evp/encode.c that is triggered when handling a large amount of input data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-2105)

- Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Optimizer subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2016-3424, CVE-2016-3440, CVE-2016-3501, CVE-2016-3518)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the Security: Encryption subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
(CVE-2016-3452)

- Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the InnoDB subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2016-3459, CVE-2016-5436)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the Parser subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3477)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the FTS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3486)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the Types subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3521)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity and confidentiality. (CVE-2016-3588)

- Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Security:
Encryption subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2016-3614, CVE-2016-5442)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3615)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the Log subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5437)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the Privileges subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2016-5439)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the RBR subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5440)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the Replication subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2016-5441)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the Connection subcomponent that allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5443)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the Connection subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
(CVE-2016-5444)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB Plugin subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-8288)

- Multiple flaws exist in InnoDB that are triggered when handling specially crafted 'ALTER TABLE' operations. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

- Multiple overflow conditions exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in a parser structure that is triggered during the validation of stored procedure names. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

- Multiple overflow conditions exist in the InnoDB memcached plugin due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when invoking Enterprise Encryption functions in multiple threads simultaneously or after creating and dropping them. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when handling a 'SELECT ... GROUP BY ... FOR UPDATE' query executed with a loose index scan. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when performing a 'FLUSH TABLES' operation on a table with a discarded tablespace. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

- A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered when performing an 'OPTIMIZE TABLE' operation on a table with a full-text index. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when performing an UPDATE operation on a generated virtual BLOB column. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when performing a 'SHOW CREATE TABLE' operation on a table with a generated column. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.7.13 or later.
