"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2017-1284:01 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 standard MySQL client programs and generic MySQL files.

    CVE-2016-5616
    ** REJECT **
    DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2016-6663. Reason:
    This candidate is a reservation duplicate of CVE-2016-6663.  Notes:
    All CVE users should reference CVE-2016-6663 instead of this
    candidate.  All references and descriptions in this candidate have
    been removed to prevent accidental usage.
    CVE-2016-6662
    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.
    CVE-2016-6663
    Race condition in Oracle MySQL before 5.5.52, 5.6.x before 5.6.33,
    5.7.x before 5.7.15, and 8.x before 8.0.1; MariaDB before 5.5.52,
    10.0.x before 10.0.28, and 10.1.x before 10.1.18; Percona Server
    before 5.5.51-38.2, 5.6.x before 5.6.32-78-1, and 5.7.x before
    5.7.14-8; and Percona XtraDB Cluster before 5.5.41-37.0, 5.6.x before
    5.6.32-25.17, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-26.17 allows local users with
    certain permissions to gain privileges by leveraging use of
    my_copystat by REPAIR TABLE to repair a MyISAM table.
