Thijs Alkemade discovered that unexpected automatic deserialisation of Java objects in the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver may result in the execution of arbitary code. For additional details, please refer to the advisory at https://www.computest.nl/advisories/CT-2017-0425_MySQL-Connector-J.txt

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - mysql-connector-java: Connector/J unspecified vulnerability (CPU October 2018) (CVE-2018-3258)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.34 and earlier allows     remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to     Connector/J. (CVE-2015-2575)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.1.40 and earlier. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low     privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Connectors. While the     vulnerability is in MySQL Connectors, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of MySQL Connectors. (CVE-2017-3523)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the version of the mysql-connector-java package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of     Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.1.40 and earlier.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low     privileged attacker with network access via multiple     protocols to compromise MySQL Connectors. While the     vulnerability is in MySQL Connectors, attacks may     significantly impact additional products. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of     MySQL Connectors.(CVE-2017-3523)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - mysql-connector-java: Improper automatic deserialization of binary data (CPU Apr 2017) (CVE-2017-3523)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.34 and earlier allows     remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to     Connector/J. (CVE-2015-2575)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.1.41 and earlier. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low     privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Connectors. While the     vulnerability is in MySQL Connectors, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of MySQL     Connectors accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of MySQL Connectors accessible     data. (CVE-2017-3586)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the version of the mysql-connector-java package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - MySQL Connector/J is a native Java driver that converts     JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) calls into the     network protocol used by the MySQL database. It lets     developers working with the Java programming language     easily build programs and applets that interact with     MySQL and connect all corporate data, even in a     heterogeneous environment. MySQL Connector/J is a Type     IV JDBC driver and has a complete JDBC feature set that     supports the capabilities of MySQL.Security     Fix(es):Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component     of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.1.40 and earlier.

This update for mysql-connector-java to version to 5.1.42 fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-3589: An unspecified vulnerability in MySQL     Connector/J could have resulted in unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors     accessible data (bnc#1035210)

  - CVE-2017-3523: An unspecified vulnerability in MySQL     Connector/J could have lead to takeover of MySQL     Connectors (bnc#1035697)

  - CVE-2017-3586: An unspecified vulnerability in MySQL     Connectors could have lead to unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors     accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a     subset of MySQL Connectors accessible data (bnc#1035211)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP1:Update update project.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

Several issues were discovered in mysql-connector-java that allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of the data.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.42-1~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-connector-java packages.
