Detail
Problem Description: Updated postgresql packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Problem description: PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS). Two flaws were found in the way the PostgreSQL server handles certain SQL-language functions. An authenticated user could execute a sequence of commands which could crash the PostgreSQL server or possibly read from arbitrary memory locations. A user would need to have permissions to drop and add database tables to be able to exploit these issues (CVE-2007-0555, CVE-2007-0556). Several denial of service flaws were found in the PostgreSQL server. An authenticated user could execute certain SQL commands which could crash the PostgreSQL server (CVE-2006-5540, CVE-2006-5541, CVE-2006-5542). Users of PostgreSQL should upgrade to these updated packages containing PostgreSQL version 8.1.8 which corrects these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 216411 - CVE-2006-5540 New version fixes three different crash vulnerabilities (CVE-2006-5541 CVE-2006-5542) 225496 - CVE-2007-0555 PostgreSQL arbitrary memory read flaws (CVE-2007-0556) 227688 - Attribute type error when updating varchar column |
