rPath Security Advisory: 2006-0080-1 Published: 2006-05-24 Products: rPath Linux 1 Rating: Severe Exposure Level Classification: Local System User Deterministic Vulnerability Updated Versions: postgresql=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/8.1.4-1-0.1 postgresql-server=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/8.1.4-1-0.1 References: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2313 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2314 http://bugs.rpath.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1159 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.49 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.50 http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/release-8-1-4.html Description: Previous versions of postgresql server and client libraries contain weaknesses parsing certain character encodings (UTF-8, SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, or UHC, but not ASCII) which, when using the vulnerable encodings, can enable SQL injection attacks against applications (particularly web applications) which use non-standard escaping of quote characters. Because vulnerable escaping of quote characters is no longer allowed, some existing applications may not function correctly when used with the new release of postgresql. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
