Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56124
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-239-1 (libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql
announced via advisory USN-239-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected: libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql

Several format string vulnerabilities were discovered in the error
logging handling. By sending specially crafted user names, an
unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this to crash the Apache
server or possibly even execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
Apache (user 'www-data').

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.0.2b1-2ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2.0.2b1-5ubuntu0.1 (for
Ubuntu 5.04), or 2.0.2b1-6ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). After a
standard system upgrade you need to restart the Apache 2 server to
effect the necessary changes:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
