Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in PostgreSQL.

Software Description: - postgresql-9.4: Object-relational SQL database - postgresql-9.3: Object-relational SQL database - postgresql-9.1: Object-relational SQL database - postgresql-8.4: Object-relational SQL database

Details:

Stephen Frost discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly displayed certain values in error messages. An authenticated user could gain access to seeing certain values, contrary to expected permissions. (CVE-2014-8161)

Andres Freund, Peter Geoghegan and Noah Misch discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled buffers in to_char functions. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PostgreSQL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0241)

It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled memory in the pgcrypto extension. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PostgreSQL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0243)

Emil Lenngren discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled extended protocol message reading. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PostgreSQL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly inject query messages. (CVE-2015-0244)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
postgresql-9.4 9.4.1-0ubuntu0.14.10

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
postgresql-9.3 9.3.6-0ubuntu0.14.04

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
postgresql-9.1 9.1.15-0ubuntu0.12.04

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
postgresql-8.4 8.4.22-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug fixes. In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
