Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3390-1
August 15, 2017
postgresql-9.3, postgresql-9.5, postgresql-9.6 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- - Ubuntu 17.04
- - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in PostgreSQL.
Software Description:
- - postgresql-9.6: object-relational SQL database
- - postgresql-9.5: Object-relational SQL database
- - postgresql-9.3: Object-relational SQL database
Details:
Ben de Graaff, Jelte Fennema, and Jeroen van der Ham discovered that
PostgreSQL allowed the use of empty passwords in some authentication
methods, contrary to expected behaviour. A remote attacker could use an
empty password to authenticate to servers that were believed to have
password login disabled. (CVE-2017-7546)
Jeff Janes discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled the
pg_user_mappings catalog view. A remote attacker without server privileges
could possibly use this issue to obtain certain passwords. (CVE-2017-7547)
Chapman Flack discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled lo_put()
permissions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to change the
data in a large object. (CVE-2017-7548)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 17.04:
postgresql-9.6 9.6.4-0ubuntu0.17.04.1
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
postgresql-9.5 9.5.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
postgresql-9.3 9.3.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart PostgreSQL to
make all the necessary changes.
