Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : postgresql (MDKSA-2006:098)

high Nessus Plugin ID 21670

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

PostgreSQL 8.1.x before 8.1.4, 8.0.x before 8.0.8, 7.4.x before 7.4.13, 7.3.x before 7.3.15, and earlier versions allows context-dependent attackers to bypass SQL injection protection methods in applications via invalid encodings of multibyte characters, aka one variant of 'Encoding-Based SQL Injection.' (CVE-2006-2313)

PostgreSQL 8.1.x before 8.1.4, 8.0.x before 8.0.8, 7.4.x before 7.4.13, 7.3.x before 7.3.15, and earlier versions allows context-dependent attackers to bypass SQL injection protection methods in applications that use multibyte encodings that allow the '' (backslash) byte 0x5c to be the trailing byte of a multibyte character, such as SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, and UHC, which cannot be handled correctly by a client that does not understand multibyte encodings, aka a second variant of 'Encoding-Based SQL Injection.' NOTE: it could be argued that this is a class of issue related to interaction errors between the client and PostgreSQL, but a CVE has been assigned since PostgreSQL is treating this as a preventative measure against this class of problem. (CVE-2006-2314)

Packages have been patched or updated to correct these issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
