Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 7.4 prior to 7.4.29, 8.0 prior to 8.0.25, 8.1 prior to 8.1.21, 8.2 prior to 8.2.17, 8.3 prior to 8.3.11 or 8.4 prior to 8.4.4. As such, it is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A vulnerability in Safe.pm and PL/Perl can allow an authenticated user to run arbitrary Perl code on the database server if PL/Perl is installed and enabled.
(CVE-2010-1169)

- Insecure permissions on the pltcl_modules table could allow an authenticated user to run arbitrary Tcl code on the database server if PL/Tcl is installed and enabled. (CVE-2010-1170)

- An unprivileged database user can remove superuser-only settings that were applied to the user's account with ALTER USER by a superuser thus bypassing settings that should be enforced. (CVE-2010-1975)

Solution

Upgrade to PostgreSQL 7.4.29 / 8.0.25 / 8.1.21 / 8.2.17 / 8.3.11 / 8.4.4 or later.
