"The version of MariaDB running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to
5.5.54. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in
    scripts/mysqld_safe.sh due to improper handling of
    arguments to malloc-lib. A local attacker can exploit
    this, via a symlink attack on error logs, to gain root
    privileges. (CVE-2016-6664)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in
    sql/item_subselect.cc due to improper handling of
    queries from the select/unit tree. An authenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the
    check_well_formed_result() function in sql/item.cc due
    to improper handling of row validation. An
    authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash
    the database.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the
    parse_filter_rule() function in sql/rpl_filter.cc
    that is triggered during the clearing of wildcards. An
    authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash
    the database.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the
    safe_charset_converter() function in sql/item.cc due to
    improper handling of a specially crafted subselect query
    item. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this
    to crash the database.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the
    st_select_lex::is_merged_child_of() function in
    sql/sql_lex.cc due to improper handling of merged views
    or derived tables. An authenticated, remote attacker can
    exploit this to crash the database.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in sql/item.cc
    due to improper handling of a specially crafted
    subquery. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit
    this to crash the database.");
