NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2005-138.NASL description Updated postresql packages that correct various security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. A flaw in the LOAD command in PostgreSQL was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to load arbitrary shared libraries and therefore execute arbitrary code, gaining the privileges of the PostgreSQL server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0227 to this issue. A permission checking flaw in PostgreSQL was discovered. A local user could bypass the EXECUTE permission check for functions by using the CREATE AGGREGATE command. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0244 to this issue. Multiple buffer overflows were found in PL/PgSQL. A database user who has permissions to create plpgsql functions could trigger this flaw which could lead to arbitrary code execution, gaining the privileges of the PostgreSQL server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2005-0245 and CVE-2005-0247 to these issues. A flaw in the integer aggregator (intagg) contrib module for PostgreSQL was found. A user could create carefully crafted arrays and cause a denial of service (crash). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0246 to this issue. The update also fixes some minor problems, notably conflicts with SELinux. Users of postgresql should update to these erratum packages that contain patches and are not vulnerable to these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 17192 published 2005-02-22 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/17192 title RHEL 4 : postgresql (RHSA-2005:138) NASL family Databases NASL id POSTGRESQL_MULTIPLE_FLAWS2.NASL description The remote PostgreSQL server, according to its version number, is vulnerable to multiple flaws that could allow an attacker who has the rights to query the remote database to obtain a shell on this host. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 16309 published 2005-02-03 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2018 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/16309 title PostgreSQL < 7.2.7 / 7.3.9 / 7.4.7 / 8.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2005-141.NASL description Updated PostgreSQL packages to fix various security flaws are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS). A flaw in the LOAD command in PostgreSQL was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to load arbitrary shared librarys and therefore execute arbitrary code, gaining the privileges of the PostgreSQL server.

A permission checking flaw was found where a local user could bypass the EXECUTE permission check for functions using the CREATE AGGREGATE command (CVE-2005-0244). Multiple buffer overflows were discovered in PL/PgSQL. A database user with permission to create plpgsql functions could trigger these flaws which could then lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the postgresql server (CVE-2005-0245 and CVE-2005-0247). Finally, a flaw in the integer aggregator (intagg) contrib module was found. A user could create carefully crafted arrays and crash the server, causing a Denial of Service (CVE-2005-0246). The updated packages have been patched to correct these problems. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 17139 published 2005-02-18 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/17139 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : postgresql (MDKSA-2005:040) NASL family FreeBSD Local Security Checks NASL id FREEBSD_PKG_65C8ECF92ADB11DBA6E2000E0C2E438A.NASL description Multiple vulnerabilities had been reported in various versions of PostgreSQL : - The EXECUTE restrictions can be bypassed by using the AGGREGATE function, which is missing a permissions check. - A buffer overflow exists in gram.y which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a large number of arguments to a refcursor function, found in gram.y - The intagg contributed module allows an attacker to crash the server (Denial of Service) by constructing a malicious crafted array. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 22210 published 2006-08-14 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2006-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/22210 title FreeBSD : postgresql -- multiple vulnerabilities (65c8ecf9-2adb-11db-a6e2-000e0c2e438a) NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200502-08.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200502-08 (PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities) PostgreSQL last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 16445 published 2005-02-14 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/16445 title GLSA-200502-08 : PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-79-1.NASL description The execution of custom PostgreSQL functions can be restricted with the EXECUTE privilege. However, previous versions did not check this privilege when executing a function which was part of an aggregate. As a result, any database user could circumvent the EXECUTE restriction of functions with a particular (but very common) parameter structure by creating an aggregate wrapper around the function. (CAN-2005-0244) Several buffer overflows have been discovered in the SQL parser. These could be exploited by any database user to crash the PostgreSQL server or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the server.
