Synopsis: Moderate: postgresql security update
Issue date: 2011-02-03
CVE Names: CVE-2010-4015
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL
processed certain tokens from an SQL query when the intarray module was
enabled on a particular database. An authenticated database user running
a specially-crafted SQL query could use this flaw to cause a temporary
denial of service (postgres daemon crash) or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the database server. (CVE-2010-4015)
For Scientific Linux 6, the updated postgresql packages upgrade
PostgreSQL to version 8.4.7, which includes a fix for this issue. Refer
to the PostgreSQL Release Notes for a full list of changes:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release.html
If the postgresql service is running, it will be automatically restarted
after installing this update.
