postgresql-7.4, postgresql-8.0, postgresql vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - libecpg-compat2 - libecpg-dev - libecpg4 - libecpg5 - libpgtcl - libpgtcl-dev - libpgtypes2 - libpq-dev - libpq3 - libpq4 - postgresql - postgresql-7.4 - postgresql-8.0 - postgresql-client - postgresql-client-7.4 - postgresql-client-8.0 - postgresql-contrib - postgresql-contrib-7.4 - postgresql-contrib-8.0 - postgresql-dev - postgresql-doc - postgresql-doc-7.4 - postgresql-doc-8.0 - postgresql-plperl-7.4 - postgresql-plperl-8.0 [...] Description : Akio Ishida discovered that the SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION command did not properly verify the validity of its argument. An authenticated PostgreSQL user could exploit this to crash the server. However, this does not affect the official binary Ubuntu packages. The crash can only be triggered if the source package is rebuilt with assertions enabled (which is not the case in the official binary packages). Solution : Upgrade to : - libecpg-compat2-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libecpg-dev-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libecpg4-7.4.7-2ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libecpg5-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpgtcl-7.4.7-2ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpgtcl-dev-7.4.7-2ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpgtypes2-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpq-dev-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpq3-7.4.8-17ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpq4-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - postgresql-7.4.7-2ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - postgresql [...] Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
