Debian DLA-2105-1 : postgresql-9.4 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 133729

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Tom Lane discovered that 'ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION' sub commands in the PostgreSQL database did not perform authorisation checks.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 9.4.26-0+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-9.4_9.4.26-0+deb8u1 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
