Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2018-0031)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl-DBD-mysql' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2018-0031 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl-DBD-mysql' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2018-0031 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Pali Rohar discovered that DBD::mysql constructed an error message in a fixed-length buffer, leading to a crash (_FORTIFY_SOURCE failure) and, potentially, to denial of service (CVE-2016-1246). A vulnerability was discovered in perl-DBD-MySQL that can lead to an out-of-bounds read when using server side prepared statements with an unaligned number of placeholders in WHERE condition and output fields in SELECT expression (CVE-2016-1249). There is a vulnerability of type use-after-free affecting DBD::mysql before 4.041 when used with mysql_server_prepare=1 (CVE-2016-1251). The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering (1) certain error responses from a MySQL server or (2) a loss of a network connection to a MySQL server. The use-after-free defect was introduced by relying on incorrect Oracle mysql_stmt_close documentation and code examples (CVE-2017-10788). The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional (even though this setting's documentation has a 'your communication with the server will be encrypted' statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack (CVE-2017-10789). Note that the CVE-2016-1246, CVE-2017-1249, and CVE-2016-1251 issues only affected Mageia 5. Also note that server-side prepared statements are disabled by default. Affected Software/OS: 'perl-DBD-mysql' package(s) on Mageia 5, Mageia 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
