Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-369-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'postgresql-8.1' package(s) announced via the USN-369-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'postgresql-8.1' package(s) announced via the USN-369-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Michael Fuhr discovered an incorrect type check when handling unknown
literals. By attempting to coerce such a literal to the ANYARRAY type,
a local authenticated attacker could cause a server crash.

Josh Drake and Alvaro Herrera reported a crash when using aggregate
functions in UPDATE statements. A local authenticated attacker could
exploit this to crash the server backend. This update disables this
construct, since it is not very well defined and forbidden by the SQL
standard.

Sergey Koposov discovered a flaw in the duration logging. This could
cause a server crash under certain circumstances.

Please note that these flaws can usually not be exploited through web
and other applications that use a database and are exposed to
untrusted input, so these flaws do not pose a threat in usual setups.

Affected Software/OS:
'postgresql-8.1' package(s) on Ubuntu 6.06.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
