| Detailed Description |
The version of MariaDB running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.50. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the Item_func_match::fix_index() function within file sql/item_func.cc due to improper handling of a full-text search of the utf8mb4 column. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the server, resulting in a denial of service condition.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote MariaDB server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
