Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891079
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1079-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libdbd-mysql-perl' package(s) announced via the DLA-1079-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libdbd-mysql-perl' package(s) announced via the DLA-1079-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The Perl library for communicating with MySQL database, used in the mysql commandline client is vulnerable to a man in the middle attack in SSL configurations and remote crash when connecting to hostile servers.

CVE-2017-10788

The DBD::mysql module through 4.042 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-2017-10789

The DBD::mysql module through 4.042 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, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 4.021-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libdbd-mysql-perl packages.
