EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : postgresql-jdbc (EulerOS-SA-2022-1946)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 162473

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the postgresql-jdbc package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - pgjdbc is the offical PostgreSQL JDBC Driver. A security hole was found in the jdbc driver for postgresql database while doing security research. The system using the postgresql library will be attacked when attacker control the jdbc url or properties. pgjdbc instantiates plugin instances based on class names provided via `authenticationPluginClassName`, `sslhostnameverifier`, `socketFactory`, `sslfactory`, `sslpasswordcallback` connection properties. However, the driver did not verify if the class implements the expected interface before instantiating the class. This can lead to code execution loaded via arbitrary classes. Users using plugins are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2022-21724)

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

Solution

Update the affected postgresql-jdbc packages.
