Summary:	Ubuntu USN-876-1 (postgresql-8.4)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to postgresql-8.4 announced via advisory USN-876-1. Details follow: It was discovered that PostgreSQL did not properly handle certificates with NULL characters in the Common Name field of X.509 certificates. An attacker could exploit this to perform a man in the middle attack to view sensitive information or alter encrypted communications. (CVE-2009-4034) It was discovered that PostgreSQL did not properly manage session-local state. A remote authenticated user could exploit this to escalate priviliges within PostgreSQL. (CVE-2009-4136) Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: postgresql-8.1 8.1.19-0ubuntu0.6.06 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: postgresql-8.3 8.3.9-0ubuntu8.04 Ubuntu 8.10: postgresql-8.3 8.3.9-0ubuntu8.10 Ubuntu 9.04: postgresql-8.3 8.3.9-0ubuntu9.04 Ubuntu 9.10: postgresql-8.4 8.4.2-0ubuntu9.10 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-876-1 Risk factor : High
