Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Important: postgresql security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:0347-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-0347.html

Issue date: 2016-03-02

CVE Names: CVE-2016-0773

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated postgresql packages that fix one security issue are now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important 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

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

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

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

 

3. Description:

 

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system

(DBMS).

 

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was

found in the PostgreSQL handling code for regular expressions. A remote

attacker could use a specially crafted regular expression to cause

PostgreSQL to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0773)

 

Red Hat would like to thank PostgreSQL upstream for reporting this issue.

Upstream acknowledges Tom Lane and Greg Stark as the original reporters.

 

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.
