"The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.1.17. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the 10.1.17 advisory.

  - Oracle MySQL through 5.5.52, 5.6.x through 5.6.33, and 5.7.x through 5.7.15; MariaDB before 5.5.51, 10.0.x
    before 10.0.27, and 10.1.x before 10.1.17; and Percona Server before 5.5.51-38.1, 5.6.x before
    5.6.32-78.0, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-7 allow local users to create arbitrary configurations and bypass
    certain protection mechanisms by setting general_log_file to a my.cnf configuration. NOTE: this can be
    leveraged to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by setting malloc_lib. NOTE: the affected MySQL
    version information is from Oracle's October 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that
    the issue was silently patched in MySQL 5.5.52, 5.6.33, and 5.7.15. (CVE-2016-6662)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
