| Detailed Description |
The version of MySQL is older than version 3.23.31.
MySQL versions prior to 3.23.31 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack. An attacker who knows a valid username and password can cause the server to crash and obtain a shell on the server via a buffer overflow.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote MySQL server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive. |
| Recommendation |
Upgrade to the latest version of MySQL (3.23.31 or later), available from the MySQL Web site. |
