| Detailed Description |
The version of MySQL 5.5 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.39 and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- An overflow flaw exists in 'mysqldump' due to improper validation of user-supplied input when large arguments are passed. A local attacker could cause a buffer
overflow, resulting in a denial of service.
- An information disclosure flaw exists in 'mysqladmin password' due to the new password not being masked on the command line after a password change.
- An overflow flaw in yaSSL exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input during certificate decoding. A remote attacker, with a specially crafted
certificate, could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
- An unspecified flaw related to MyISAM temporary files could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2014-4274)
