Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3477)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.49 and earlier, 5.6.30 and earlier, and 5.7.12 and earlier and MariaDB before 5.5.50, 10.0.x before 10.0.26, and 10.1.x before 10.1.15 allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via vectors related to Server: Parser. Scores reflect additional information provided in http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/3089849.xml: "Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where MySQL Server executes to compromise MySQL Server. While the vulnerability is in MySQL Server, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of MySQL Server."


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3521)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.49 and earlier, 5.6.30 and earlier, and 5.7.12 and earlier and MariaDB before 5.5.50, 10.0.x before 10.0.26, and 10.1.x before 10.1.15 allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to Server: Types.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3615)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.49 and earlier, 5.6.30 and earlier, and 5.7.12 and earlier and MariaDB before 5.5.50, 10.0.x before 10.0.26, and 10.1.x before 10.1.15 allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to Server: DML.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5440)

The vulnerability allows a remote privileged user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.49 and earlier, 5.6.30 and earlier, and 5.7.12 and earlier and MariaDB before 5.5.50, 10.0.x before 10.0.26, and 10.1.x before 10.1.15 allows remote administrators to affect availability via vectors related to Server: RBR.


5) Arbitrary command execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-6662)

The vulnerability allows an administrative user to execute arbitrary command on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient access control that allows a malicious user to execute arbitrary command with root privileges that may lead to complete system compromise.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in arbitrary code excution on the vulnerable system.
