Synopsis:          Updated PostgreSQL packages fix buffer overflow
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2003:313-00
Issue date:        2003-11-13
Updated on:        2003-11-13
Product:           Red Hat Linux
Keywords:

CVE Names:         CAN-2003-0901
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

Updated PostgreSQL packages that correct a buffer overflow in the to_ascii
routines are now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386

3. Problem description:

PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS).  

Two bugs that can lead to buffer overflows have been found in the
PostgreSQL abstract data type to ASCII conversion routines.  A remote
attacker who is able to influence the data passed to the to_ascii functions
may be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the PostgreSQL
server.  These issues affect PostgreSQL 7.2.x, and 7.3.x before 7.3.4. 
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CAN-2003-0901 to these issues.

In addition, a bug that can lead to leaks has been found in the string to
timestamp abstract data type conversion routine.  If the input string to
the to_timestamp() routine is shorter than what the template string is
expecting, the routine will run off the end of the input string, resulting
in a leak of previous timestamp behavior and unstable behavior.

Users of PostgreSQL are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which
contain backported patches that correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network.  To use Red
Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

Note that no initdb will be necessary from previous PostgreSQL packages.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

108079 - CAN-2003-0901 PostgreSQL To_Ascii() Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
109068 - to_timestamp not stable if date string shorter than template
