"The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1781109213 advisory.
- Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server : Partition). Supported
versions that are affected are 5.5.58 and prior, 5.6.38 and prior and 5.7.19 and prior. Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise
MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang
or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server as well as unauthorized update, insert or
delete access to some of MySQL Server accessible data. (CVE-2018-2562)
- Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Client programs). Supported
versions that are affected are 5.5.59 and prior, 5.6.39 and prior and 5.7.21 and prior. Difficult to
exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where MySQL Server
executes to compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2018-2773)
- Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Client programs). Supported
versions that are affected are 5.5.61 and prior, 5.6.41 and prior, 5.7.23 and prior and 8.0.12 and prior.
Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where
MySQL Server executes to compromise MySQL Server. While the vulnerability is in MySQL Server, attacks may
significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server.
(CVE-2018-3174)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
