  - MariaDB Connector/C is a C and C++ client library for connecting applications to MariaDB and MySQL
    databases. From 3.4.1 until 3.4.10, the MariaDB Connector/C libmariadb Zero-Configuration SSL
    authentication-switch logic checked certificate trust failure but did not reject a TLS hostname
    verification mismatch before selecting a non-hashing authentication plugin. An active man-in-the-middle
    attacker with a valid certificate for another hostname could request mysql_clear_password and obtain the
    database password inside the attacker-controlled TLS connection. Other MariaDB connectors are not
    affected. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.10. (CVE-2026-107819)

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