MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and libraries.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2012-5614, CVE-2013-1506, CVE-2013-1521, CVE-2013-1531, CVE-2013-1532, CVE-2013-1544, CVE-2013-1548, CVE-2013-1552, CVE-2013-1555, CVE-2013-2375, CVE-2013-2378, CVE-2013-2389, CVE-2013-2391 and CVE-2013-2392 to these issues.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security advisory issued by Red Hat:

Recommended Actions for System Products:
Avaya strongly recommends following the
networking and security best practices by implementing
firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other appropriate
access restrictions. Though Avaya believes such
restrictions should always be in place, risk to Avaya
products and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these
practices are implemented until such time as an Avaya provided
product update or the recommended Avaya action is applied.
Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the
customer's security policies may be required during this
interim period, but the System Product operating system or
application should not be modified unless the change is
approved by Avaya.
Making changes that are not approved may void the Avaya product service contract.
When determining risk, Avaya takes into account many factors as outlined by Avaya's Security Vulnerability Classification Policy. The following table describes factors that mitigate the risk of specific vulnerabilities for affected Avaya products:
| Vulnerability | Mitigating Factors |
|---|---|
|
CVE-2012-5614 CVE-2013-1506 CVE-2013-1521 CVE-2013-1531 CVE-2013-1532 CVE-2013-1544 CVE-2013-1548 CVE-2013-1552 CVE-2013-1555 CVE-2013-2375 CVE-2013-2378 CVE-2013-2389 CVE-2013-2391 CVE-2013-2392 |
There is no risk to IP Office, Experience Portal, one-X Client Enablement Services and Session Manager as only mysql-libs is installed. These are a low risk to CMS as MySQL is installed but not configured or used by default. |
Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems. Occasionally vulnerabilities may be discovered in the underlying operating system or applications that come with the operating system. These vulnerabilities often do not impact the software-only product directly but may threaten the integrity of the underlying platform.
In the case of this advisory Avaya software-only products are not affected by the vulnerability directly but the underlying Linux platform may be. Customers should determine on which Linux operating system the product was installed and then follow that vendor's guidance.
