Echo: postgresql-13: security update to 13.17postgresql-17: security update to 17.1-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457033

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Incorrect privilege assignment in PostgreSQL allows a less-privileged application user to view or change
 different rows from those intended. An attack requires the application to use SET ROLE, SET SESSION
 AUTHORIZATION, or an equivalent feature. The problem arises when an application query uses parameters from
 the attacker or conveys query results to the attacker. If that query reacts to current_setting('role') or
 the current user ID, it may modify or return data as though the session had not used SET ROLE or SET
 SESSION AUTHORIZATION. The attacker does not control which incorrect user ID applies. Query text from
 less-privileged sources is not a concern here, because SET ROLE and SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION are not
 sandboxes for unvetted queries. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 are
 affected. (CVE-2024-10978)

Solution

Update the postgresql-13 library and its related packages to version 13.17 or later.
