3. Description:

 

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system

(DBMS).

 

It was found that the optional PostgreSQL xml2 contrib module allowed local

files and remote URLs to be read and written to with the privileges of the

database server when parsing Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations

(XSLT). An unprivileged database user could use this flaw to read and write

to local files (such as the database's configuration files) and remote URLs

they would otherwise not have access to by issuing a specially-crafted SQL

query. (CVE-2012-3488)

 

It was found that the "xml" data type allowed local files and remote URLs

to be read with the privileges of the database server to resolve DTD and

entity references in the provided XML. An unprivileged database user could

use this flaw to read local files they would otherwise not have access to

by issuing a specially-crafted SQL query. Note that the full contents of

the files were not returned, but portions could be displayed to the user

via error messages. (CVE-2012-3489)

 

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

issues. Upstream acknowledges Peter Eisentraut as the original reporter of

CVE-2012-3488, and Noah Misch as the original reporter of CVE-2012-3489.

 

These updated packages upgrade PostgreSQL to version 8.4.13. Refer to the

PostgreSQL Release Notes for a list of changes:

 

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release-8-4-13.html

 

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

which correct these issues. 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.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

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

 

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

 

849172 - CVE-2012-3488 postgresql (xml2 contrib module): XXE by applying XSL stylesheet to the document

849173 - CVE-2012-3489 postgresql: File disclosure through XXE in xmlparse by DTD validation
