"The version of mysql installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2012-2677 advisory.

  - Integer overflow in the ordered_malloc function in boost/pool/pool.hpp in Boost Pool before 3.9 makes it
    easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a
    large memory chunk size value, which causes less memory to be allocated than expected. (CVE-2012-2677)
