The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201308-06 (MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request, possibly       resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       application or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2012:0874 advisory.

    MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of     the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and libraries.

    A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed HANDLER READ NEXT statements     after deleting a record. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this     flaw to provide such requests, causing mysqld to crash. This issue only     caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted     after the crash. (CVE-2012-2102)

    This update also adds the following enhancement:

    * The InnoDB storage engine is built-in for all architectures. This update     adds InnoDB Plugin, the InnoDB storage engine as a plug-in for the 32-bit     x86, AMD64, and Intel 64 architectures. The plug-in offers additional     features and better performance than when using the built-in InnoDB storage     engine. Refer to the MySQL documentation, linked to in the References     section, for information about enabling the plug-in. (BZ#740224)

    All MySQL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which add this     enhancement and contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After     installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted     automatically.

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

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2012-0874 advisory.

    - Add backported patch for CVE-2012-2102     Resolves: #812435

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

Due to the non-disclosure of security patch information from     Oracle, we are forced to ship an upstream version update of MySQL     5.1. There are several known incompatible changes, which are     listed in /usr/share/doc/mysql-server/NEWS.Debian.gz.

Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to a new upstream version, 5.1.63, which includes additional changes, such as performance improvements and corrections for data loss defects. These changes are described in the MySQL release notes.

 CVE-2012-2122, an authentication bypass vulnerability, occurs only  when MySQL has been built in with certain optimisations enabled. The  packages in Debian stable (squeeze) are not known to be affected by  this vulnerability. It is addressed in this update nonetheless, so  future rebuilds will not become vulnerable to this issue.

The version of MySQL 5.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.1.62. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An error exists related to the included yaSSL     component that could allow arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2012-0882)

  - Errors exist related to 'Server Optimizer',     'Server DML', 'Partition' and, in combination with     InnoDB, 'HANDLER READ NEXT' that could allow denial of     service attacks. (CVE-2012-1688, CVE-2012-1690,     CVE-2012-1703, CVE-2012-2102)

Updated mysql packages that fix one security issue and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
