Advisories MDVSA-2009:333: postgresql

[paul]

Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and corrected in postgresql:

 

NULL Bytes in SSL Certificates can be used to falsify client or server

authentication. This only affects users who have SSL enabled, perform

certificate name validation or client certificate authentication,

and where the Certificate Authority (CA) has been tricked into

issuing invalid certificates. The use of a CA that can be trusted to

always issue valid certificates is recommended to ensure you are not

vulnerable to this issue (CVE-2009-4034).

 

Privilege escalation via changing session state in an index

function. This closes a corner case related to vulnerabilities

CVE-2009-3230 and CVE-2007-6600 (CVE-2009-4136).

 

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for

Corporate products.

 

This update provides a solution to these vulnerabilities.
