Language:
Synopsis
The remote host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The version of Oracle MySQL installed on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.50. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :- An unspecified flaw exists in the Parser subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3477)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Types subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3521)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3615)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the RBR subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5440)
- Multiple overflow conditions exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in a parser structure that is triggered during the validation of stored procedure names. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.
