The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is older than 5.5.6. As such, it reportedly is prone to multiple denial of service attacks :
The improper handling of type errors during argument evaluation in extreme-value functions, e.g., ‘LEAST()’ or ‘GREATEST()’ causes server crashes. (CVE-2010-3833)
Remote authenticated attackers could crash the server.
(CVE-2010-3834 & CVE-2010-3836)
The use of ‘GROUP_CONCAT()’ and ‘WITH ROLLUP’ caused server crashes. (CVE-2010-3837)
The use of an intermediate temporary table and queries containing calls to ‘GREATEST()’ or ‘LEAST()’, having a list of both numeric and ‘LONGBLOB’ arguments, caused server crashes. (CVE-2010-3838)
The use of nested joins in prepared statements or stored procedures could result in infinite loops. (CVE-2010-3839)
