    descriptionThe version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.7.x prior to 5.7.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Optimizer subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3492, CVE-2016-5632) - An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5507) - An unspecified flaw exists in the MyISAM subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5616) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Error Handling subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5617) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Packaging subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5625) - An unspecified flaw exists in the GIS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5626) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Federated subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5629) - A flaw exists in the check_log_path() function within file sql/sys_vars.cc due to inadequate restrictions on the ability to write to the my.cnf configuration file and allowing the loading of configuration files from path locations not used by current versions. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue by using specially crafted queries that utilize logging functionality to create new files or append custom content to existing files. This allows the attacker to gain root privileges by inserting a custom .cnf file with a

    "The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.7.x prior to

      - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Optimizer
        subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote
        attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
        (CVE-2016-3492, CVE-2016-5632)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB subcomponent
        that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a
        denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5507)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in the MyISAM subcomponent

      - An unspecified flaw exists in the Packaging subcomponent
        that allows a local attacker to gain elevated

      - An unspecified flaw exists in the GIS subcomponent that
        allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a
        denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5626)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in the Federated subcomponent
        that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a
        denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5629)
    
      - A flaw exists in the check_log_path() function within
        file sql/sys_vars.cc due to inadequate restrictions on
        the ability to write to the my.cnf configuration file
        and allowing the loading of configuration files from
        path locations not used by current versions. An
        authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue
        by using specially crafted queries that utilize logging
        functionality to create new files or append custom
        content to existing files. This allows the attacker to
        gain root privileges by inserting a custom .cnf file
        with a 'malloc_lib=' directive pointing to specially
        crafted mysql_hookandroot_lib.so file and thereby cause
        MySQL to load a malicious library the next time it is
        started. (CVE-2016-6662)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated,
        remote attacker to bypass restrictions and create the
        /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf file with custom contents without
        the FILE privilege requirement. (CVE-2016-6663)
        
      - An unspecified flaw exists in the Types subcomponent
        that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause
        a denial of service condition.(CVE-2016-8283)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in the Security: Privileges
        subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote
        attacker to disclose sensitive information.
        (CVE-2016-8286)
    
      - A flaw exists that is related to the use of temporary
        files by REPAIR TABLE. An authenticated, remote attacker
        can exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
    
      - A flaw exists in InnoDB when handling an operation that
        dropped and created a full-text search table. An
        authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
        trigger an assertion, resulting in a denial of service
        condition.
    
      - A flaw exists in InnoDB when accessing full-text
        auxiliary tables while dropping the indexed table. An
        authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
        trigger an assertion, resulting in a denial of service
        condition.
    
      - A buffer overflow condition exists when handling long
        integer values in MEDIUMINT columns due to the improper
        validation of certain input. An authenticated, remote
        attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service
        condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
        validate_password plugin due to passwords that have been
        rejected being written as plaintext to the error log. A
        local attacker can exploit this to more easily guess
        what passwords might have been chosen and accepted.
    
      - A flaw exists in InnoDB when handling an ALTER TABLE ...
        ENCRYPTION='Y', ALGORITHM=COPY operation that is applied
        to a table in the system tablespace. An authenticated,
        remote attacker can exploit this to trigger an
        assertion, resulting in a denial of service condition.
