3. Description:

 

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system

(DBMS).

 

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:

postgresql92-postgresql (9.2.18)

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL server handled certain SQL

statements containing CASE/WHEN commands. A remote, authenticated attacker

could use a specially crafted SQL statement to cause PostgreSQL to crash or

disclose a few bytes of server memory or possibly execute arbitrary code.

(CVE-2016-5423)

 

* A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL client programs handled database

and role names containing newlines, carriage returns, double quotes, or

backslashes. By crafting such an object name, roles with the CREATEDB or

CREATEROLE option could escalate their privileges to superuser when a

superuser next executes maintenance with a vulnerable client program.

(CVE-2016-5424)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the PostgreSQL project for reporting these

issues. Upstream acknowledges Heikki Linnakangas as the original reporter

of CVE-2016-5423; and Nathan Bossart as the original reporter of

CVE-2016-5424.

 

4. Solution:

 

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes

described in this advisory, refer to:

 

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

If the postgresql service is running, it will be automatically restarted

after installing this update.

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1364001 - CVE-2016-5423 postgresql: CASE/WHEN with inlining can cause untrusted pointer dereference

1364002 - CVE-2016-5424 postgresql: privilege escalation via crafted database and role names
