Description
SELECT count(*) FROM mysql.user WHERE user='root' and password='' |
can report insecure root passwords even if a plugin is used.
If a bit unfair to report an unused password field as insecure if a plugin is set.
https://github.com/grooverdan/mariadb-server/tree/5.5-debian-insecure-root-plugin-empty is a patch that corrects this by testing adding and plugin='' in the sql. I submit this under the MCA.
