Fedora 8 : postgresql-8.2.6-1.fc8 (2008-0478)

high Nessus Plugin ID 29944

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

- Mon Jan 7 2008 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 8.2.6-1

- Update to PostgreSQL 8.2.6 to fix CVE-2007-4769, CVE-2007-4772, CVE-2007-6067, CVE-2007-6600, CVE-2007-6601

- Make initscript and pam config files be installed unconditionally; seems new buildroots don't necessarily have those directories in place

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
