The version of MySQL 4.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 4.1.3. Such versions are reported affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
It is possible for a remote attacker to bypass the password authentication mechanism using a specially crafted packet with a zero-length scramble buff string. (CVE-2004-0627)
The server fails to check the length of a scrambled password used by the 4.1 authentication protocol and sent as part of a client authentication packet, which can result in a stack-based buffer overflow.
