MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server that is binary compatible with MySQL. Galera is a synchronous multi-master cluster for MariaDB.

Security Fix(es):

  • A permissions flaw was discovered in the MySQL logging functionality, which allowed writing to MySQL configuration files. An administrative database user, or a database user with FILE privileges, could possibly exploit this flaw to run arbitrary commands with root privileges on the system running the database server. (CVE-2016-6662)
