| Detailed Description |
The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.50. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- Multiple overflow conditions exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (VulnDB 139552)
- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in a parser structure that is triggered during the validation of stored procedure names. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition. (VulnDB 139553)
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote MySQL server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
