Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0032
Package names: kernel, postgresql
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2006-06-05
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
Trustix Secure Linux 3.0
Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
kernel
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
Trustix Secure Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic
functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation,
device input and output, etc.
postgresql
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including transactions,
subselects and user-defined types and functions). The postgresql package
includes the client programs and libraries that you'll need to access a
PostgreSQL DBMS server. These PostgreSQL client programs are programs
that directly manipulate the internal structure of PostgreSQL databases
on a PostgreSQL server. These client programs can be located on the same
machine with the PostgreSQL server, or may be on a remote machine which
accesses a PostgreSQL server over a network connection. This package
contains the docs in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line
utilities for managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.
Problem description:
kernel < TSL 3.0 >
- New Upstream.
- SECURITY Fix: Pavel Kankovsky discovered that the getsockopt()
function, when called with an SO_ORIGINAL_DST argument, does not
properly clear the returned structure, so that a random piece of
kernel memory is exposed to the user. This could potentially
reveal sensitive data like passwords or encryption keys.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2006-1343 to this issue.
postgresql < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 >
- New Upstream.
- SECURITY Fix: Akio Ishida and Yasuo Ohgaki have reported vulnerabilities
in PostgreSQL, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people
to conduct SQL injection attacks.
- The first issue is due to an input validation error when handling a
parameter containing invalidly-encoded multibyte characters, which
could be exploited by malicious people to bypass standard string-escaping
methods and conduct SQL injection attacks via a supposedly secure script.
- The second issue is due to an error when escaping ASCII single quote "'"
characters (by turning them into "\'") and operating in multibyte
encodings that allow using the "0x5c" ASCII code (backslash) as the
trailing byte of a multibyte character, which could be exploited by
attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the names CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314 to these issues.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
