Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5676-1

postgresql-9.5 vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 ESM

Summary:

PostgreSQL could be made to execute commands as the superuser.

Software Description:
- postgresql-9.5: Object-relational SQL database

Details:

Alexander Lakhin discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled the
security restricted operation sandbox when a privileged user is 
maintaining another user’s objects. An attacker having permission to 
create non-temp objects can use this issue to execute arbitrary commands 
as the superuser.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 16.04 ESM:
   postgresql-9.5                  9.5.25-0ubuntu0.16.04.1+esm2

After a standard system update you need to restart PostgreSQL to
make all the necessary changes.
