Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0059
Package names: postgresql
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2006-10-27
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
Trustix Secure Linux 3.0
Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
postgresql
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including transactions,
subselects and user-defined types and functions). The postgresql package
includes the client programs and libraries that you'll need to access
a PostgreSQL DBMS server. These PostgreSQL client programs are programs
that directly manipulate the internal structure of PostgreSQL databases
on a PostgreSQL server. These client programs can be located on the
same machine with the PostgreSQL server, or may be on a remote machine
which accesses a PostgreSQL server over a network connection. This
package contains the docs in HTML for the whole package, as well as
command-line utilities for managing PostgreSQL databases on a
PostgreSQL server.
Problem description:
postgresql < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 >
- New Upstream.
- SECURITY Fix: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in PostgreSQL,
which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (SA22562).
- An incorrect type check before coercing unknown literals into the
ANYARRY type can be exploited to cause a crash when converting
certain literals into ANYARRAY.
- An error exists within the handling of aggregate functions in UPDATE
statements, which can be exploited to crash the server backend.
- An error within the logging of V3-protocol execute messages of
ROLLBACK or COMMIT statements can be exploited to cause a crash.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
