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.
