MariaDB Server 10.1.x < 10.1.16 Multiple DoS

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9545

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple Denial of Service (DoS) attack vectors.

Description

MariaDB is a community-developed fork of the MySQL relational database. The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is 10.1.x prior to 10.1.16, and is therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A flaw exists in the 'get_best_group_min_max()' function in 'sql/opt_range.cc' that is triggered during the handling of query plans. This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
- A flaw exists in the 'emb_stmt_execute()' function in 'libmysqld/lib_sql.cc' that is triggered during the handling of queries. This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.

Solution

Upgrade to version 10.1.16 or later.
