Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-02 (MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact :

An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the MySQL process, cause a Denial of Service condition, bypass security restrictions, uninstall arbitrary MySQL plugins, or conduct Man-in-the-Middle and Cross-Site Scripting attacks. Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-db/mysql-5.1.56' NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since May 14, 2011. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.

Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl gentoo_GLSA-201201-02.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a gentoo_GLSA-201201-02.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - gentoo_GLSA-201201-02.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state gentoo_GLSA-201201-02.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
