| Detailed Description |
The version of MariaDB running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.52. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Optimizer subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3492)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the MyISAM subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5616)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5624)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the GIS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5626)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Federated subcomponent that allows an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5629)
- A security bypass vulnerability exists that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to bypass file access restrictions and create the /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf file with arbitrary contents without the FILE privilege requirement. (CVE-2016-6663)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Types subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-8283)
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote MariaDB server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
