EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : postgresql (EulerOS-SA-2020-2156)

high Nessus Plugin ID 141004

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the postgresql packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - It was found that PostgreSQL versions before 12.4, before 11.9 and before 10.14 did not properly sanitize the search_path during logical replication. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw in an attack similar to CVE-2018-1058, in order to execute arbitrary SQL command in the context of the user used for replication.(CVE-2020-14349)

 - It was found that some PostgreSQL extensions did not use search_path safely in their installation script. An attacker with sufficient privileges could use this flaw to trick an administrator into executing a specially crafted script, during the installation or update of such extension.(CVE-2020-14350)

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

Solution

Update the affected postgresql packages.
