Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68188
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1002-2 (postgresql-8.4)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to postgresql-8.4
announced via advisory USN-1002-2.

Details follow:

USN-1002-1 fixed vulnerabilities in PostgreSQL. This update provides the
corresponding update for Ubuntu 10.10.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that PostgreSQL did not properly enforce permissions
within sessions when PL/Perl and PL/Tcl functions or operators were
redefined. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to execute
arbitrary code with permissions of a different user, possibly leading to
privilege escalation.

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

Ubuntu 10.10:
postgresql-plperl-8.4 8.4.5-0ubuntu10.10
postgresql-pltcl-8.4 8.4.5-0ubuntu10.10

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.
