  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.46 and earlier, 5.6.27 and earlier, and 5.7.9 and MariaDB
    before 5.5.47, 10.0.x before 10.0.23, and 10.1.x before 10.1.10 allows local users to affect
    confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Client. NOTE: the previous
    information is from the January 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that these are
    multiple buffer overflows in the mysqlshow tool that allow remote database servers to have unspecified
    impact via a long table or database name. (CVE-2016-0546)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
