PostgreSQL 8.4 < 8.4.11 / 9.0 < 9.0.7 / 9.1 < 9.1.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 63352

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 8.4.x prior to 8.4.11, 9.0.x prior to 9.0.7, or 9.1.x prior to 9.1.3. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Permissions on a function called by a trigger are not properly checked. (CVE-2012-0866)

- SSL certificate name checks are truncated to 32 characters, allowing connection spoofing under some circumstances when using third-party certificate authorities. (CVE-2012-0867)

- Line breaks in object names can be exploited to execute arbitrary SQL commands when reloading a pg_dump file.
(CVE-2012-0868)

Solution

Upgrade to PostgreSQL 8.3.19 / 8.4.12 / 9.0.8 / 9.1.4 or later.
