1) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-6394)
CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
Percona XtraBackup before 2.1.6 uses a constant string for the initialization vector (IV), which makes it easier for local users to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms and conduct plaintext attacks.
