Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL which may allow |
| 19 |
a remote attacker to conduct several attacks. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management |
| 25 |
system. |

Description |
| 40 |
=========== |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL. Please |
| 43 |
review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Impact |
| 46 |
====== |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
A remote attacker could spoof SSL connections. Furthermore, a remote |
| 49 |
authenticated attacker could cause a Denial of Service, read and write |
| 50 |
arbitrary files, inject SQL commands into dump scripts, or bypass |
| 51 |
database restrictions to execute database functions. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
A context-dependent attacker could more easily obtain access via |
| 54 |
authentication attempts with an initial substring of the intended |
| 55 |
password. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Workaround |
| 58 |
========== |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |

| 69 |
|
| 70 |
All PostgreSQL 9.0 server users should upgrade to the latest version: |
