for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security

impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the

References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64

3. Description:

 

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system

(DBMS).

 

A memory leak error was discovered in the crypt() function of the pgCrypto

extension. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this flaw to

disclose a limited amount of the server memory. (CVE-2015-5288)

 

All PostgreSQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,

which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. If the postgresql

service is running, it will be automatically restarted after installing

this update.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
