Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 8.04 LTS / 9.10 / 10.04 LTS / 10.10 : postgresql-8.1, postgresql-8.3, postgresql-8.4 vulnerability (USN-1058-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 51871

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Geoff Keating reported that a buffer overflow exists in the intarray module's input function for the query_int type. This could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code as the postgres user.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
