Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for rh-postgresql10-postgresql.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2565 advisory.

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

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-postgresql10-postgresql (10.5).
(BZ#1612673, BZ#1614337)

Security Fix(es):

* postgresql: Certain host connection parameters defeat client-side security defenses (CVE-2018-10915)

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

* postgresql: Too-permissive access control list on function pg_logfile_rotate() (CVE-2018-1115)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Red Hat would like to thank the PostgreSQL project for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges Andrew Krasichkov as the original reporter of CVE-2018-10915; and Stephen Frost as the original reporter of CVE-2018-1115.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL rh-postgresql10-postgresql package based on the guidance in RHSA-2018:2565.
