Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for rh-postgresql96-postgresql.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2566 advisory.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system (DBMS).

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-postgresql96-postgresql (9.6.10). (BZ#1614340)

* postgresql: Missing authorization and memory disclosure in INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE statements (CVE-2018-10925)

* postgresql: Memory disclosure in JSON functions (CVE-2017-15098)

* postgresql: pg_upgrade creates file of sensitive metadata under prevailing umask (CVE-2018-1053)

* postgresql: Uncontrolled search path element in pg_dump and other client applications (CVE-2018-1058)

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