medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 5546
Synopsis
The remote database server is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.Description
The remote host is running PostgreSQL earlier than 8.4.4, 8.3.11, 8.2.17, 8.1.21, 8.0.25, or 7.4.29. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.- A vulnerability in Safe.pm and PL/Perl can allow an authenticated user to run arbitrary Perl code on the database server if PL/Perl is installed and enabled. (CVE-2010-1169)
- Insecure permissions on the pltcl_modules table could allow an authenticated user to run arbitrary Tcl code on the database server i PL/Tcl is installed and enabled. (CVE-2010-1170)
- The application does not properly check privileges during certain RESET ALL operations, which could allow a remote authenticated ser to remove arbitrary parameter settings via ALTER USER or ALTER DATABASE statements.
Solution
Upgrade to PostgreSQL 8.4.4, 8.3.11, 8.2.17, 8.1.21, 8.0.25, 7.4.29, or later.See Also
