| Detailed Description |
The version of MySQL 5.5 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.47 and is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability 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.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote MySQL server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
