Detailed Description |
The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.49. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Federated subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity and availability. (CVE-2016-0642)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0643)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the FTS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0647)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the PS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0647)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Security: Privileges subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0666)
- A man-in-the-middle spoofing vulnerability exists due to the server hostname not being verified to match a domain name in the Subject's Common Name (CN) or SubjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this, by spoofing the TLS/SSL server via a certificate that appears valid, to disclose sensitive information or manipulate transmitted data. (CVE-2016-2047)
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote MySQL server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
