Message-ID: <200505151241.20306.jaervosz@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Jul 17 14:26:08 2005 From: jaervosz at gentoo.org (Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen) Subject: [gentoo-announce] [ GLSA 200505-12 ] PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200505-12 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: May 15, 2005 Bugs: #91231 ID: 200505-12 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== PostgreSQL is vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks and possibly allows unprivileged users to gain administrator rights. Background ========== PostgreSQL is a SQL compliant, open source object-relational database management system. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-db/postgresql < 8.0.2-r1 *>= 7.4.7-r2 *>= 8.0.1-r3 >= 8.0.2-r1 Description =========== PostgreSQL gives public EXECUTE access to a number of character conversion routines, but doesn't validate the given arguments (CAN-2005-1409). It has also been reported that the contrib/tsearch2 module of PostgreSQL misdeclares the return value of some functions as "internal" (CAN-2005-1410). Impact ====== An attacker could call the character conversion routines with specially setup arguments to crash the backend process of PostgreSQL or to potentially gain administrator rights. A malicious user could also call the misdeclared functions of the contrib/tsearch2 module, resulting in a Denial of Service or other, yet uninvestigated, impacts. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All PostgreSQL users should update to the latest available version and follow the guide at http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-db/postgresql References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-1409 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2005-1409 [ 2 ] CAN-2005-1410 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2005-1410 [ 3 ] PostgreSQL Announcement http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200505-12.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
