Oracle MySQL 5.6.x < 5.6.32 Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9613
Synopsis
The remote database server is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.Description
The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.6.x prior to 5.6.32 and is affected by multiple issues :- A flaw exists in the 'NAME_CONST()' function that is triggered during the handling of certain arguments. This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
- A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered when selecting full-text index information schema tables for a deleted table. This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
- A flaw exists in a library used by MySQL. Specifically, the Henry Spencer regex Library (rxspencer) contains an overflow condition that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact that may include a denial of service in a process linked against the library or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.
- An unspecified flaw exists related to the DML subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
- An unspecified flaw exists related to the InnoDB subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
- An unspecified flaw exists related to the Replication subcomponent. This may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
