Privilege escalation flaws were found in the initialization scripts of PostgreSQL. A remote attacker with access to the postgres user account could use these flaws to obtain root access on the server machine.( CVE-2017-12172)

Invalid json_populate_recordset or jsonb_populate_recordset function calls in PostgreSQL can crash the server or disclose a few bytes of server memory.(CVE-2017-15098)

Privilege escalation flaws were found in the initialization scripts of PostgreSQL. A remote attacker with access to the postgres user account could use these flaws to obtain root access on the server machine.(CVE-2017-12172)

INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE commands in PostgreSQL disclose table contents that the invoker lacks privilege to read. These exploits affect only tables where the attacker lacks full read access but has both INSERT and UPDATE privileges. Exploits bypass row level security policies and lack of SELECT privilege.(CVE-2017-15099)

Invalid json_populate_recordset or jsonb_populate_recordset function calls in PostgreSQL can crash the server or disclose a few bytes of server memory.(CVE-2017-15098)

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 9.2.x prior to 9.2.24, 9.3.x prior to 9.3.20, 9.4.x prior to 9.4.15, 9.5.x prior to 9.5.10, 9.6.x prior to 9.6.6, or 10.x prior to 10.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including a denial of service attack.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3479-1 advisory.

    David Rowley discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled memory when processing certain JSON functions.
    A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2017-15098)

    Dean Rasheed discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly enforced SELECT privileges when processing INSERT ...
    ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE commands. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive     information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 17.04 and Ubuntu 17.10.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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 PostgreSQL project reports :

- CVE-2017-15098: Memory disclosure in JSON functions

- CVE-2017-15099: INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE fails to enforce SELECT privileges

Several vulnerabilities have been found in the PostgreSQL database system :

  - CVE-2017-15098     Denial of service and potential memory disclosure in the     json_populate_recordset() and jsonb_populate_recordset()     functions

  - CVE-2017-15099     Insufficient permissions checks in 'INSERT ... ON     CONFLICT DO UPDATE' statements.

A vulnerabilitiy has been found in the PostgreSQL database system:
Denial of service and potential memory disclosure in the json_populate_recordset() and jsonb_populate_recordset() functions.
