high Nessus Plugin ID 379484

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:5191-1 advisory.

- CVE-2026-109448: denial of service via integer wraparound in SQLBindParameter (bsc#1285073).
- CVE-2026-120057: large-object read overflows the application buffer (bsc#1289252).
- CVE-2026-120058: row cache overflow when a later FETCH changes the column count (bsc#1289253).
- CVE-2026-120059: driver uses a server-supplied column name as a format string (bsc#1289254).
- CVE-2026-120060: driver does not validate server-supplied counts and lengths (bsc#1289255).
- CVE-2026-120061: ODBC escape parser stack buffer overflow (bsc#1289256).
- CVE-2026-120062: SQL injection through SQLSpecialColumns table and schema names (bsc#1289257).
- CVE-2026-120063: stack buffer overflow when quoting long schema and table names (bsc#1289258).
- CVE-2026-120064: driver does not validate column numbers and row indexes in binding and descriptor functions (bsc#1289259).
- CVE-2026-120065: driver does not escape a server-supplied column name in its updatable-cursor queries (bsc#1289260).
- CVE-2026-120066: log files are created with default permissions at a predictable path and follow symbolic links (bsc#1289261).
- CVE-2026-120067: stack buffer overflow when reading the keyset (ctid/oid) columns of an updatable cursor (bsc#1289262).

Changes for psqlODBC:

- Update to 18.00.0006:
* https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/release.html
* 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.
- Update to 18.00.0005:
* https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/release.html
* Fix the placeholder cast being truncated from parameter 1000 on, which failed with 'type 'timestam' does not exist'.
* Report the largest column size instead of SQL_NO_TOTAL (-4) as COLUMN_SIZE for bytea in SQLGetTypeInfo, which broke bytea parameters through MSDASQL.
- Update to 18.00.0004:
* Fix the result-conversions regression test on big-endian systems.
- Update to 18.00.0003:
* Report SQLSTATE 22003 for out-of-range integer conversions instead of silently returning the wrapped low bits.
* Fix statement level rollback (Protocol=7.4-2) discarding the whole transaction on a syntax error.
* Do not wrap internal queries in a savepoint at rollback-on-error level 0 (Protocol=7.4-0), which lost transactions on servers without SAVEPOINT support.
* Redact the database password (ODBC PWD and libpq pqopt password) in debug logs.
* Fix hang on COPY ... FROM STDIN / TO STDOUT: report it as unsupported and keep the connection usable.
* Fix 'infinity'/'-infinity' dates being silently returned as today's date.
* Document the connection string escaping rules.
- Update to 18.00.0002:
* Use a signed type for the error status.
* Redact sensitive connection parameters in the driver logs.
* Fix double free / heap corruption during SQLDisconnect cleanup.
* Clear PGresults from per-query rollback.
* Validate UTF-16 surrogate pairs before combining them.
* Pass SQLSetDescRec field values correctly.
* Avoid reading before leading string literals.
* Detach freed application descriptors from statements.
* Reject invalid SQLPutData lengths.
* Reject overlong cursor names.
* Fix version reporting.
* Handle ARD bookmark allocation failure.
* Validate percent escapes before decoding connection string values.
* Avoid reading past the end of conn_settings.
* Fix stack buffer overflow in getPrecisionPart().
* Fix SQLPrimaryKeys to exclude INCLUDE columns from the result.
- Update to 18.00.0000, 18.00.0001 and 17.00.0010:
* No code changes from 17.00.0009.
- Update to 17.00.0009:
* Fix the test suite for PostgreSQL 19, where standard_conforming_strings is always on.
* Upgrade the GitHub Actions workflow: use prebuilt PostgreSQL binaries, parallel matrix builds and a separate release job.
- Update to 17.00.0008:
* https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/release.html
- fix build for SLE-15 by forcing gcc 14

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