Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59106
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-417-3 (postgresql-8.1)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to postgresql-8.1
announced via advisory USN-417-3.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

USN-417-2 fixed a severe regression in the PostgreSQL server that was
introduced in USN-417-1 and caused some valid queries to be aborted
with a type error. This update fixes a similar (but much less
prominent) error.

At the same time, PostgreSQL is updated to version 8.1.8, which fixes
a range of important bugs.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
postgresql-8.1 8.1.8-0ubuntu6.06.1
postgresql-client-8.1 8.1.8-0ubuntu6.06.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
postgresql-8.1 8.1.8-0ubuntu6.10
postgresql-client-8.1 8.1.8-0ubuntu6.10

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
