Packages

• mariadb-10.1 - MariaDB database

Details

It was discovered that MariaDB didn't properly validate the content of a packet
received from a server. A remote attacker could use this vulnerability to sent
a specialy crafted file to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-13249)

It was discovered that MariaDB has other security issues. An attacker can cause
a hang or frequently repeatable crash (denial of service). (CVE-2020-15180,
CVE-2020-2752, CVE-2020-2760, CVE-2020-2812, CVE-2020-2814)

In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new
features, and possibly incompatible changes.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 20.04
