Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update of postgresql was pblished to fix several minor security vulnerabilities :

 - CVE-2010-1975: postgresql does not properly check privileges during certain RESET ALL operations, which allows remote authenticated users to remove arbitrary parameter settings.

 - CVE-2010-1170: The PL/Tcl implementation in postgresql loads Tcl code from the pltcl_modules table regardless of the table's ownership and permissions, which allows remote authenticated users, with database-creation privileges, to execute arbitrary Tcl code.

Solution

Update the affected postgresql packages.
