The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5344-1 advisory.
The DBD::mysql module before 4.039 for Perl, when using server-side prepared statement support, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via vectors involving an unaligned number of placeholders in WHERE condition and output fields in SELECT expression. (CVE-2016-1249)
There is a vulnerability of type use-after-free affecting DBD::mysql (aka DBD-mysql or the Database Interface (DBI) MySQL driver for Perl) 3.x and 4.x before 4.041 when used with mysql_server_prepare=1.
(CVE-2016-1251)
The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use- after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering (1) certain error responses from a MySQL server or (2) a loss of a network connection to a MySQL server. The use- after-free defect was introduced by relying on incorrect Oracle mysql_stmt_close documentation and code examples. (CVE-2017-10788)
The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional (even though this settingβs documentation has a your communication with the server will be encrypted statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152. (CVE-2017-10789)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
