Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1646-01 – MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server that is binary compatible with MySQL. It was found that the MySQL client library permitted but did not require a client to use SSL/TLS when establishing a secure connection to a MySQL server using the “–ssl” option. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to strip the SSL/TLS protection from a connection between a client and a server. This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MariaDB database server.
