| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'postgresql-9.1' package(s) announced via the DSA-3475-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL-9.1, a SQL database system.
CVE-2015-5288
Josh Kupershmidt discovered a vulnerability in the crypt() function in the pgCrypto extension. Certain invalid salt arguments can cause the server to crash or to disclose a few bytes of server memory.
CVE-2016-0766
A privilege escalation vulnerability for users of PL/Java was discovered. Certain custom configuration settings (GUCs) for PL/Java will now be modifiable only by the database superuser to mitigate this issue.
CVE-2016-0773
Tom Lane and Greg Stark discovered a flaw in the way PostgreSQL processes specially crafted regular expressions. Very large character ranges in bracket expressions could cause infinite loops or memory overwrites. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service or, potentially, to execute arbitrary code.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 9.1.20-0+deb7u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-9.1 packages.
Affected Software/OS:
'postgresql-9.1' package(s) on Debian 7.
Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
