SUSE SLES12 Security Update : postgresql13 (SUSE-SU-2021:1784-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 150101

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for postgresql13 fixes the following issues :

Upgrade to version 13.3 :

CVE-2021-32027: Fixed integer overflows in array subscripting calculations (bsc#1185924).

CVE-2021-32028: Fixed mishandling of junk columns in INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE target lists (bsc#1185925).

CVE-2021-32029: Fixed possibly-incorrect computation of UPDATE ...
RETURNING 'pg_psql_temporary_savepoint' does not exist (bsc#1185926).

Don't use %_stop_on_removal, because it was meant to be private and got removed from openSUSE. %_restart_on_update is also private, but still supported and needed for now (bsc#1183168).

Re-enable build of the llvmjit subpackage on SLE, but it will only be delivered on PackageHub for now (bsc#1183118).

Disable icu for PostgreSQL 10 (and older) on TW (bsc#1179945).

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