Detail
| iDEFENSE reports that a format string vulnerability in mod_auth_pgsql, a library used to authenticate web users against a PostgreSQL database, could be used to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the httpd user. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.2b1-5sarge0. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed shortly. We recommend that you upgrade your libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql package. |
