security advisorysecurity issueUbuntuUbuntu 20.10: USN-4633-1 Critical: PostgreSQL Connection Issues
Several security issues were fixed in PostgreSQL.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4633-1 November 17, 2020 postgresql-10, postgresql-12, postgresql-9.5 vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 20.10 - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in PostgreSQL. Software Description: - postgresql-12: Object-relational SQL database - postgresql-10: Object-relational SQL database - postgresql-9.5: Object-relational SQL database Details: Peter Eisentraut discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled connection security settings. Client applications could possibly be connecting with certain security parameters dropped, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2020-25694) Etienne Stalmans discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled the security restricted operation sandbox. An authenticated remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary SQL functions as a superuser. (CVE-2020-25695) Nick Cleaton discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled the \gset meta-command. A remote attacker with a compromised server could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-25696) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.10: postgresql-12 12.5-0ubuntu0.20.10.1 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: postgresql-12 12.5-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: postgresql-10 10.15-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: postgresql-9.5 9.5.24-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart PostgreSQL to make all the necessary changes.
