Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated PostgreSQL packages fix buffer overrun vulnerabilities
Notes
Topic
Updated PostgreSQL packages are available for Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7, 7.1,
and 7.2 where we have backported a number of security fixes. A separate
advisory deals with updated PostgreSQL packages for Red Hat Linux 7.3 and 8.0.
Details
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS). A number of security issues have been found that affect PostgreSQL
versions shipped with Red Hat Linux.
Buffer overflows in PostgreSQL 7.2 allow attackers to cause a denial of
service and possibly execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the lpad
or rpad functions. CAN-2002-0972
Buffer overflow in the cash_words() function for PostgreSQL 7.2 and
earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly
execute arbitrary code via a malformed argument. CAN-2002-1397
Buffer overflow in the date parser for PostgreSQL before 7.2.2 allows
attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary
code via a long date string, also known as a vulnerability "in handling
long datetime input." CAN-2002-1398
Heap-based buffer overflow in the repeat() function for PostgreSQL
before 7.2.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing
repeat() to generate a large string. CAN-2002-1400
Buffer overflows in circle_poly, path_encode and path_add allow attackers
to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code. Note
that these issues have been fixed in our packages and in PostgreSQL CVS,
but are not included in PostgreSQL version 7.2.2 or 7.2.3. CAN-2002-1401
Buffer overflows in the TZ and SET TIME ZONE enivronment variables for
PostgreSQL 7.2.1 and earlier allow local users to cause a denial of service
and possibly execute arbitrary code. CAN-2002-1402
Note that these vulnerabilities are only critical on open or shared systems
because connecting to the database is required before the vulnerabilities
can be exploited.
The PostgreSQL Global Development Team has released versions of PostgreSQL
that fixes these vulnerabilities, and these fixes have been isolated and
backported to the various versions of PostgreSQL that originally shipped
with each Red Hat Linux distribution. All users of PostgreSQL are advised
to install these updated packages.
