MDKSA-2006:098: postgresql Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary Check for the version of the postgresql package
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:098 (postgresql).
PostgreSQL 8.1.x before 8.1.4, 8.0.x before 8.0.8, 7.4.x before 7.4.13,
7.3.x before 7.3.15, and earlier versions allows context-dependent
attackers to bypass SQL injection protection methods in applications
via invalid encodings of multibyte characters, aka one variant of
'Encoding-Based SQL Injection.' (CVE-2006-2313)
PostgreSQL 8.1.x before 8.1.4, 8.0.x before 8.0.8, 7.4.x before 7.4.13,
7.3.x before 7.3.15, and earlier versions allows context-dependent
attackers to bypass SQL injection protection methods in applications
that use multibyte encodings that allow the '' (backslash) byte 0x5c to
be the trailing byte of a multibyte character, such as SJIS, BIG5, GBK,
GB18030, and UHC, which cannot be handled correctly by a client that does
not understand multibyte encodings, aka a second variant of 'Encoding-Based
SQL Injection.' NOTE: it could be argued that this is a class of issue
related to interaction errors between the client and PostgreSQL, but a
CVE has been assigned since PostgreSQL is treating this as a preventative
measure against this class of problem. (CVE-2006-2314)
Packages have been patched or updated to correct these issues.
