Synopsis: Moderate: postgresql security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0068-02
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0068.html
Issue date: 2007-03-14
Updated on: 2007-03-14
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

1. Summary:

Updated postgresql packages that fix several security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

3. Problem description:

PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS).

Two flaws were found in the way the PostgreSQL server handles certain
SQL-language functions. An authenticated user could execute a sequence of
commands which could crash the PostgreSQL server or possibly read from
arbitrary memory locations. A user would need to have permissions to drop
and add database tables to be able to exploit these issues (CVE-2007-0555,
CVE-2007-0556).

Several denial of service flaws were found in the PostgreSQL server. An
authenticated user could execute certain SQL commands which could crash the
PostgreSQL server (CVE-2006-5540, CVE-2006-5541, CVE-2006-5542).

Users of PostgreSQL should upgrade to these updated packages containing
PostgreSQL version 8.1.8 which corrects these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
