[USN-369-2] postgresql-8.1 vulnerabilities

Wed Nov 1 11:23:40 UTC 2006

=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-369-2          November 01, 2006
postgresql-8.1 vulnerabilities
CVE-2006-5540, CVE-2006-5541, CVE-2006-5542
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.10:
  postgresql-8.1                           8.1.4-7ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-369-1 fixed three minor PostgreSQL 8.1 vulnerabilities for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 6.10.

Original advisory details:

  Michael Fuhr discovered an incorrect type check when handling unknown
  literals. By attempting to coerce such a literal to the ANYARRAY type,
  a local authenticated attacker could cause a server crash. (CVE-2006-5541)

  Josh Drake and Alvaro Herrera reported a crash when using aggregate
  functions in UPDATE statements. A local authenticated attacker could
  exploit this to crash the server backend. This update disables this
  construct, since it is not very well defined and forbidden by the SQL
  standard. (CVE-2006-5540)

  Sergey Koposov discovered a flaw in the duration logging. This could
  cause a server crash under certain circumstances. (CVE-2006-5542)

  Please note that these flaws can usually not be exploited through web
  and other applications that use a database and are exposed to
  untrusted input, so these flaws do not pose a threat in usual setups.
