Remediation - Manual Procedure
To verify that mariadb system denies specific network functions, locate cnf file and specifically bind ip address to deny (or port):
$ ls -la /etc | grep my.cnf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 301 Aug 25 12:45 my.cnf
bind-address = 127.0.0.1 #just an example
To specifically change default port (3306) is something different: port = 1234
