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 version of MariaDB 5.5 running on the remote host is prior to 5.5.29. It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - InnoDB
  - MyISAM
  - Server
  - Server Locking
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Parser
  - Server Partition
  - Server Privileges
  - Server Replication
  - Stored Procedure

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

MySQL has been updated to 5.1.67 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.10.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10 have been updated to MySQL 5.5.29.

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 MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-10-0-1-release-notes advisory.

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier and 5.5.28 and     earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to InnoDB.
    (CVE-2012-0572)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier, and 5.5.28 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors. (CVE-2012-0574)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Optimizer.
    (CVE-2012-0578)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier and 5.5.28 and     earlier allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors. (CVE-2012-1702)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier and 5.5.28 and     earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server     Optimizer. (CVE-2012-1705)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users with Server Privileges to affect availability via unknown vectors. (CVE-2012-5096)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - Oracle MySQL 5.5.38 and earlier, 5.6.19 and earlier, 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)

  - Oracle MySQL and MariaDB 5.5.x before 5.5.29, 5.3.x before 5.3.12, and 5.2.x before 5.2.14 does not modify     the salt during multiple executions of the change_user command within the same connection which makes it     easier for remote authenticated users to conduct brute force password guessing attacks. (CVE-2012-5627)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Partition.
    (CVE-2013-0367)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to InnoDB. (CVE-2013-0368)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability, related to MyISAM. (CVE-2013-0371)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier, and 5.5.28 and     earlier, allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Locking.
    (CVE-2013-0383)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier, and 5.5.28 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to     Information Schema. (CVE-2013-0384)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier, and 5.5.28 and     earlier, allows local users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to Server     Replication. (CVE-2013-0385)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Stored Procedure.
    (CVE-2013-0386)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier, and 5.5.28 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server     Optimizer. (CVE-2013-0389)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier and 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to     Server Privileges. (CVE-2013-1531)

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

The version of MySQL 5.5 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.29 and is, therefore, affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :
