Updated mariadb packages includes fixes for the following security vulnerabilities :

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.26 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect integrity and availability, related to MySQL Client (CVE-2012-3147).

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.64 and earlier, and 5.5.26 and earlier, allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Protocol (CVE-2012-3158).

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the replication code in Oracle MySQL possibly before 5.5.29, and MariaDB 5.1.x through 5.1.62, 5.2.x through 5.2.12, 5.3.x through 5.3.7, and 5.5.x through 5.5.25, allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to the binary log. NOTE: as of 20130116, Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor that the fix in MySQL 5.5.29 is incomplete (CVE-2012-4414).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the acl_get function in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and 5.1.53 and other versions through 5.1.66, and MariaDB 5.5.2.x before 5.5.28a, 5.3.x before 5.3.11, 5.2.x before 5.2.13 and 5.1.x before 5.1.66, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the GRANT FILE command (CVE-2012-5611).

A buffer overflow that can cause a server crash or arbitrary code execution (a variant of CVE-2012-5611)

Heap-based buffer overflow in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using certain variations of the (1) USE, (2) SHOW TABLES, (3) DESCRIBE, (4) SHOW FIELDS FROM, (5) SHOW COLUMNS FROM, (6) SHOW INDEX FROM, (7) CREATE TABLE, (8) DROP TABLE, (9) ALTER TABLE, (10) DELETE FROM, (11) UPDATE, and (12) SET PASSWORD commands (CVE-2012-5612).

MySQL 5.5.19 and possibly other versions, and MariaDB 5.5.28a, 5.3.11, 5.2.13, 5.1.66, and possibly other versions, generates different error messages with different time delays depending on whether a user name exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames (CVE-2012-5615). Be advised that for CVE-2012-5615 to be completely closed, it's recommended to remove any anonymous logins. Previously, such a user without access rights was added by default.

A vulnerability was found in the handling of password salt values in MySQL. When a user logs into MySQL a salt value is generated that is then used to prevent password guessing attacks (since the salt value must be known in order to send a password). This salt value is created at the start of a session and used for the entire session, once authenticated an attacker can use the MySQL change_user command to attempt to login as a different, as the salt value is known a password guessing attack will be much more efficient (CVE-2012-5627).

in addition it fixes MDEV-4029 and rpl.rpl_mdev382 test from mariadb-bench, and a problem preventing the feedback plugin from working has been corrected.

The version of MySQL 5.5 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.27 and is, therefore, affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - MySQL Client
  - Protocol
  - Server
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Replication

According to its self-reported version number, the remote Junos Space version is prior to 13.1R1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to the installed MySQL version.

Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes new upstream MySQL versions to fix these issues.

MySQL has been updated to 5.1.66 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.10.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10 have been updated to MySQL 5.5.28.

In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of MySQL 5.5 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.27. As such, it is reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - An exploitable vulnerability which allows successful authenticated network attacks via multiple protocols. In some cases it can cause a Denial-of-Service or result in execution of arbitrary code.
