"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2013-78:01 advisory.

    MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. MySQL is a client/server implementation
    consisting of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs and libraries. The base package
    contains the MySQL client programs, the client shared libraries, and generic MySQL files.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2012-4452
    MySQL 5.0.88, and possibly other versions and platforms, allows local users to bypass certain privilege
    checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY
    arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables
    created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the
    MySQL data home directory, related to incorrect calculation of the mysql_unpacked_real_data_home value.
    NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2009-4030 regression, which was not omitted in other
    packages and versions such as MySQL 5.0.95.
    Fixed bugs:
     Previously, because the log file path in the logrotate script behaved unexpectedly, the logrotate
    function failed to rotate the /var/log/mysqld.log file. This has been fixed.
     Previously, mysqld sometimes failed when using the EXPLAIN flag in prepared statement mode. This has been
    fixed.
     Previously, the mysqld init script sometimes reported that mysql server startup had failed when it was
    actually started. This has been fixed.
     Previously, the --enable-profiling option was disabled by default; it is now enabled.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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