Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: postgresql84 security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0430-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0430.html

Issue date: 2010-05-19

CVE Names: CVE-2010-1169 CVE-2010-1170

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated postgresql84 packages that fix two security issues are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,

which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability

from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system

(DBMS). PL/Perl and PL/Tcl allow users to write PostgreSQL functions in the

Perl and Tcl languages, and are installed in trusted mode by default. In

trusted mode, certain operations, such as operating system level access,

are restricted.

 

A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL enforced permission checks on

scripts written in PL/Perl. If the PL/Perl procedural language was

registered on a particular database, an authenticated database user running

a specially-crafted PL/Perl script could use this flaw to bypass intended

PL/Perl trusted mode restrictions, allowing them to run arbitrary Perl

scripts with the privileges of the database server. (CVE-2010-1169)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Tim Bunce for responsibly reporting the

CVE-2010-1169 flaw.

These packages upgrade PostgreSQL to version 8.4.4. Refer to the PostgreSQL

Release Notes for a list of changes:

 

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release.html

 

All PostgreSQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,

which correct these issues. If the postgresql service is running, it will

be automatically restarted after installing this update.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

582615 - CVE-2010-1169 PostgreSQL: PL/Perl Intended restriction bypass

583072 - CVE-2010-1170 PostgreSQL: PL/Tcl Intended restriction bypass
