Synopsis

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

Description

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in postgresql :

contrib/pg_crypto's blowfish encryption code could give wrong results on platforms where char is signed (which is most), leading to encrypted passwords being weaker than they should be (CVE-2011-2483).

Additionally corrected ossp-uuid packages as well as corrected support in postgresql 9.0.x are being provided for Mandriva Linux 2011.

This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
