Detail

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

- Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

PostgreSQL could be made to crash or expose private information if it handled specially crafted data.

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

Details:

Josh Kupershmidt discovered the pgCrypto extension could expose several bytes of server memory if the crypt() function was provided a too-short salt. An attacker could use this flaw to read private data. (CVE-2015-5288)

Oskari Saarenmaa discovered that the json and jsonb handlers could exhaust available stack space. An attacker could use this flaw to perform a denial of service attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-5289)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 15.04:
postgresql-9.4 9.4.5-0ubuntu0.15.04

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
postgresql-9.3 9.3.10-0ubuntu0.14.04

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
postgresql-9.1 9.1.19-0ubuntu0.12.04

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart PostgreSQL to make all the necessary changes.
