Detail
Problem Description: Updated postgresql packages that fix several security vulnerabilities are now available for the Red Hat Application Stack. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Application Stack v1 for Enterprise Linux AS (v.4) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Application Stack v1 for Enterprise Linux ES (v.4) - i386, x86_64 3. Problem description: PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS). A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL allows authenticated users to execute security-definer functions. It was possible for an unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the security-definer function. (CVE-2007-2138) Users of PostgreSQL should upgrade to these updated packages containing PostgreSQL version 8.1.9 which corrects this issue. 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/): 237681 - CVE-2007-2138 PostgreSQL security-definer function privilege escalation |
