| Detailed Description |
The version of MySQL 5.6 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.6.28 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- A denial of service vulnerability exists due to repeatedly executing a prepared statement when the default database has been changed. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause the server to exit. (OSVDB 131599)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a flaw that is triggered when selecting DECIMAL values into user-defined variables. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause the server to exit. (OSVDB 131601)
- A flaw exists in InnoDB due to a failure to check for destination files with the same name when using the ALTER TABLE operation to convert a table to an InnoDB file-per-table tablespace. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service. (OSVDB 131603)
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote MySQL server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
