PostgreSQL 9.0 < 9.0.20 / 9.1 < 9.1.16 / 9.2 < 9.2.11 / 9.3 < 9.3.7 / 9.4 < 9.4.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 9.0.x prior to 9.0.20, 9.1.x prior to 9.1.16, 9.2.x prior to 9.2.11, 9.3.x prior to 9.3.7, or 9.4.x prior to 9.4.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A double free memory error exists after authentication timeout, which a remote attacker can utilize to cause the program to crash. (CVE-2015-3165)

- A flaw exists in the printf() functions due to a failure to check for errors. A remote attacker can use this to gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2015-3166)

- pgcrypto has multiple error messages for decryption with an incorrect key. A remote attacker can use this to recover keys from other systems. (CVE-2015-3167)

Solution

Upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.0.20 / 9.1.16 / 9.2.11 / 9.3.7 / 9.4.2 or later.
