Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 8.3.x prior to 8.3.18, and is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Permissions on a function called by a trigger are not properly checked. (CVE-2012-0866)
- Line breaks in object names can be exploited to execute arbitrary SQL commands when reloading a pg_dump file.
(CVE-2012-0868)

Solution

Upgrade to PostgreSQL 8.3.18 or later.
