Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-71-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'postgresql' package(s) announced via the USN-71-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'postgresql' package(s) announced via the USN-71-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: John Heasman discovered a local privilege escalation in the PostgreSQL server. Any user could use the LOAD extension to load any shared library into the PostgreSQL server, the library's initialisation function was then executed with the permissions of the server. Now the use of LOAD is restricted to the database superuser (usually 'postgres'). Note: Since there is no way for normal database users to create arbitrary files, this vulnerability is not exploitable remotely, e. g. by uploading a shared library in the form of a Binary Large Object (BLOB) to a public web server. Affected Software/OS: 'postgresql' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
