postgresql-7.4/-8.0, postgresql, psycopg, 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 : CVE-2006-2313: Akio Ishida and Yasuo Ohgaki discovered a weakness in the handling of invalidly-encoded multibyte text data. If a client application processed untrusted input without respecting its encoding and applied standard string escaping techniques (such as replacing a single quote >>'<< with >>\'<< or >>''<<), the PostgreSQL server could interpret the resulting string in a way that permited a possible hacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the resulting SQL query. The PostgreSQL server has been modified to reject such invalidly encoded strings now, which completely fixes the problem for some 'safe' multibyte encodings like UTF-8. CVE-2006-2314: However, there are some less popular and client-only multibyte encodings (such as SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, and UHC) which contain valid multibyte characters that end with the byte 0x5c, which is the representation of the backslash character >>\<< in ASCII. Many client libraries and applications use the non-standard, but pop [...] Solution : Upgrade to : - libecpg-compat2-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - libecpg-dev-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - libecpg4-7.4.7-2ubuntu2.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libecpg5-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - libpgtcl-7.4.7-2ubuntu2.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpgtcl-dev-7.4.7-2ubuntu2.3 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpgtypes2-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - libpq-dev-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - libpq3-7.4.8-17ubuntu1.3 (Ubuntu 5.10) - libpq4-8.0.3-15ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - postgresql-7.4.7-2ubuntu2.3 (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 |
