Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 7.4 prior to 7.4.30, 8.0 prior to 8.0.26, 8.1 prior to 8.1.22, 8.2 prior to 8.2.18, 8.3 prior to 8.3.12, 8.4 prior to 8.4.5, or 9.0 prior to 9.0.1. It therefore is potentially affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

A remote, authenticated attacker could elevate privileges via specially crafted code in a SECURITY DEFINER function.

Solution

Upgrade to PostgreSQL 7.4.30 / 8.0.26 / 8.1.22 / 8.2.18 / 8.3.12 / 8.4.5 / 9.0.1 or later.
