The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:0165 advisory.

    The libpq package provides the PostgreSQL client library, which allows client programs to connect to     PostgreSQL servers.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: libpq (12.5). (BZ#1898226,     BZ#1901561)

    Security Fix(es):

    * postgresql: Reconnection can downgrade connection security settings (CVE-2020-25694)

    * postgresql: psql's \gset allows overwriting specially treated variables (CVE-2020-25696)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has postgresql packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was discovered in postgresql versions 9.4.x before 9.4.24, 9.5.x before 9.5.19, 9.6.x before     9.6.15, 10.x before 10.10 and 11.x before 11.5 where arbitrary SQL statements can be executed given a     suitable SECURITY DEFINER function. An attacker, with EXECUTE permission on the function, can execute     arbitrary SQL as the owner of the function. (CVE-2019-10208)

  - A flaw was found in PostgreSQL versions before 13.1, before 12.5, before 11.10, before 10.15, before     9.6.20 and before 9.5.24. If a client application that creates additional database connections only reuses     the basic connection parameters while dropping security-relevant parameters, an opportunity for a man-in-     the-middle attack, or the ability to observe clear-text transmissions, could exist. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
    (CVE-2020-25694)

  - A flaw was found in PostgreSQL versions before 13.1, before 12.5, before 11.10, before 10.15, before     9.6.20 and before 9.5.24. An attacker having permission to create non-temporary objects in at least one     schema can execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity of a superuser. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25695)

  - A flaw was found in postgresql in versions before 13.3, before 12.7, before 11.12, before 10.17 and before     9.6.22. While modifying certain SQL array values, missing bounds checks let authenticated database users     write arbitrary bytes to a wide area of server memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-32027)

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

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

  - A flaw was found in PostgreSQL versions before 13.1, before 12.5, before 11.10, before 10.15, before     9.6.20 and before 9.5.24. If a client application that creates additional database connections only reuses     the basic connection parameters while dropping security-relevant parameters, an opportunity for a man-in-     the-middle attack, or the ability to observe clear-text transmissions, could exist. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
    (CVE-2020-25694)

  - When the server is configured to use trust authentication with a clientcert requirement or to use cert     authentication, a man-in-the-middle attacker can inject arbitrary SQL queries when a connection is first     established, despite the use of SSL certificate verification and encryption. (CVE-2021-23214)

  - A man-in-the-middle attacker can inject false responses to the client's first few queries, despite the use     of SSL certificate verification and encryption. (CVE-2021-23222)

  - 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)
