CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: postgresql (CVE-2024-7348)

high Nessus Plugin ID 207036

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of postgresql installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-7348 advisory.

 - Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL functions as the user running pg_dump, which is often a superuser. The attack involves replacing another relation type with a view or foreign table. The attack requires waiting for pg_dump to start, but winning the race condition is trivial if the attacker retains an open transaction.
 Versions before PostgreSQL 16.4, 15.8, 14.13, 13.16, and 12.20 are affected. (CVE-2024-7348)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
