Subject: [USN-71-1] PostgreSQL vulnerability

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-71-1		  February 01, 2005
postgresql vulnerability
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2005-01/msg00269.php
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

postgresql

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 7.4.5-3ubuntu0.2.  In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

John Heasman discovered a local privilege escalation in the PostgreSQL
server. Any user could use the LOAD extension to load any shared
library into the PostgreSQL server; the library's initialisation
function was then executed with the permissions of the server.

Now the use of LOAD is restricted to the database superuser (usually
'postgres').

Note: Since there is no way for normal database users to create
arbitrary files, this vulnerability is not exploitable remotely, e. g.
by uploading a shared library in the form of a Binary Large Object
(BLOB) to a public web server.
