January 27, 2006

Several format string flaws were found in the way mod_auth_pgsql logs information

Summary

mod_auth_pgsql can be used to limit access to documents served by a web server

by checking fields in a table in a PostgresQL database.

Several format string flaws were found in the way

mod_auth_pgsql logs information. It may be possible for a

remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the 'apache'

user if mod_auth_pgsql is used for user authentication. The

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the

name CVE-2005-3656 to this issue.

Please note that this issue only affects servers which have

mod_auth_pgsql installed and configured to perform user

authentication against a PostgreSQL database.

Red Hat would like to thank iDefense for reporting this issue.

- add security fix for CVE-2005-3656

- don't strip .so file so debuginfo works

- fix r->user handling (Mirko Streckenbach, #150087)
