CentOS 9 : postgresql-13.7-1.el9

high Nessus Plugin ID 191378

Language:

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for postgresql.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the postgresql-13.7-1.el9 build changelog.

 - A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. There is an issue with incomplete efforts to operate safely when a privileged user is maintaining another user's objects. The Autovacuum, REINDEX, CREATE INDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW, CLUSTER, and pg_amcheck commands activated relevant protections too late or not at all during the process. This flaw allows an attacker with permission to create non-temporary objects in at least one schema to execute arbitrary SQL functions under a superuser identity. (CVE-2022-1552)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream postgresql package.
