Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 89.3% of all records.
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: mysql-5.5 (Debian:7) 5.5.38-0+wheezy1; mysql55-mysql (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client) 0:5.5.40-2.el5; mysql55-mysql-bench (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client) 0:5.5.40-2.el5.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to mysql-5.5 (Debian:7) 5.5.38-0+wheezy1; mysql55-mysql (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client) 0:5.5.40-2.el5; mysql55-mysql-bench (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client) 0:5.5.40-2.el5 or later.
