openSUSE 16 Security Update : psqlODBC (openSUSE-SU-2026:22261-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 379421

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:22261-1 advisory.

Changes in psqlODBC:

- Update to 18.00.0006:
* Large-object read overflows the application buffer (CVE-2026-120057, bsc#1289252).
* Row cache overflow when a later FETCH changes the column count (CVE-2026-120058, bsc#1289253).
* Driver uses a server-supplied column name as a format string (CVE-2026-120059, bsc#1289254).
* Driver does not validate server-supplied counts and lengths (CVE-2026-120060, bsc#1289255).
* ODBC escape parser stack buffer overflow (CVE-2026-120061, bsc#1289256).
* SQL injection through SQLSpecialColumns table and schema names (CVE-2026-120062, bsc#1289257).
* Stack buffer overflow when quoting long schema and table names (CVE-2026-120063, bsc#1289258).
* Driver does not validate column numbers and row indexes in binding and descriptor functions (CVE-2026-120064, bsc#1289259).
* Driver does not escape a server-supplied column name in its updatable-cursor queries (CVE-2026-120065, bsc#1289260).
* Log files are created with default permissions at a predictable path and follow symbolic links (CVE-2026-120066, bsc#1289261).
* Stack buffer overflow when reading the keyset (ctid/oid) columns of an updatable cursor (CVE-2026-120067, bsc#1289262).
* Hardening: SQLSetDescRecW stored a freed buffer and the address of a local variable as deferred bound data. It now stores the application's pointers, as SQLSetDescRec does.
* Hardening: SQLColumns returned uninitialized relkind and table OID values when the table query returned no rows.
* Hardening: convert_linefeeds could dereference a NULL pointer in one build configuration.
* Hardening: secure_sscanf limits an over-wide %Ns width, msgtowstr checks for a zero buffer length, and the MSDTC connect-string append is bounded.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected psqlODBC package.
