Detail

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

- Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 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

Details:

Benkocs Norbert Attila discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled authentication timeouts. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the unauthenticated session to crash, possibly leading to a security issue. (CVE-2015-3165)

Noah Misch discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled certain standard library function return values, possibly leading to security issues. (CVE-2015-3166)

Noah Misch discovered that the pgcrypto function could return different error messages when decrypting using an incorrect key, possibly leading to a security issue. (CVE-2015-3167)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 15.04:
postgresql-9.4 9.4.2-0ubuntu0.15.04

Ubuntu 14.10:
postgresql-9.4 9.4.2-0ubuntu0.14.10

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
postgresql-9.3 9.3.7-0ubuntu0.14.04

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
postgresql-9.1 9.1.16-0ubuntu0.12.04

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