Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Man-in-the-middle attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU13110
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-10788
CWE-ID:
CWE-300 - Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint ('Man-in-the-Middle')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free error when improper certificate validation. A remote attacker can conduct man-in-the-middle attack, intercept of the communication channel between the affected app, trigger (1) certain error responses from a MySQL server or (2) a loss of a network connection to a MySQL server and cause the service to crash.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

2) Man-in-the-middle attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU13111
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-10789
CWE-ID:
CWE-300 - Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint ('Man-in-the-Middle')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use of 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). A remote attacker can conduct man-in-the-middle attack, intercept of the communication channel between the affected app and spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

3) Man-in-the-middle attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU13112
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-3152
CWE-ID:
CWE-300 - Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint ('Man-in-the-Middle')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use of the --ssl option to mean that SSL is optional. A remote attacker can conduct man-in-the-middle attack, intercept of the communication channel between the affected app and spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, aka a "BACKRONYM" attack.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
