Debian 8 LTS: DLA-1464-1 Low Severity: Postgresql Credential Bypass

An unprivileged user of dblink or postgres_fdw could bypass the checks intended to prevent use of server-side credentials, such as a ~/.pgpass file owned by the operating-system user running the server. Servers allowing peer authentication on local connections are particularly . Package : postgresql-9.4 Version : 9.4.19-0+deb8u1 CVE ID : CVE-2018-10915 An unprivileged user of dblink or postgres_fdw could bypass the checks intended to prevent use of server-side credentials, such as a ~/.pgpass file owned by the operating-system user running the server. Serversallowing peer authentication on local connections are particularly vulnerable. Other attacks such as SQL injection into a postgres_fdw session are also possible. Attacking postgres_fdw in this way requires the ability to create a foreign server object with selected connection parameters, but any user with access to dblink could exploit the problem. In general, an attacker with the ability to select the connection parameters for a libpq-using application could cause mischief, though other plausible attack scenarios are harder to think of. Our thanks to Andrew Krasichkov for reporting this issue. For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version 9.4.19-0+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-9.4 packages. Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS .

Scientific Linux: Freeradius2 Low Severity Authentication Bypass Advisory

Low: freeradius2 security and bug fix update. Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:10:25 -0600 Reply-To: Pat Riehecky Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Pat Riehecky Organization: Fermilab Subject: Security ERRATA Low: freeradius2 on SL5.x i386/x86_64 MIME-Version: 1.0 Synopsis: Low: freeradius2 security and bug fix update Issue Date: 2013-01-08 CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-4966 -- It was found that the "unix" module ignored the password expiration setting in "/etc/shadow". If FreeRADIUS was configured to use this module for user authentication, this flaw could allow users with an expired password to successfully authenticate, even though their access should have been denied. (CVE-2011-4966) This update also fixes the following bugs: * After log rotation, the freeradius logrotate script failed to reload the radiusd daemon and log messages were lost. This update has added a command to the freeradius logrotate script to reload the radiusd daemon and the radiusd daemon re-initializes and reopens its log files after log rotation as expected. * The radtest script with the "eap-md5" option failed because it passed the IP family argument when invoking the radeapclient utility and the radeapclient utility did not recognize the IP family. The radeapclient utility now recognizes the IP family argument and radtest now works with eap-md5 as expected. * Previously, freeradius was compiled without the "--with-udpfromto" option. Consequently, with a multihomed server and explicitly specifying the IP address, freeradius sent the reply with the wrong IP source address. With this update, freeradius has been built with the "--with-udpfromto" configuration option and the RADIUS reply is always sourced from the IP address the request was sent to. * Due to invalid syntax in the PostgreSQL admin schema file, the FreeRADIUS PostgreSQL tables failed to be created. With this update, the syntax has been adjusted and the tables are created as expected. * FreeRADIUS has a thread pool that dynamically grows based on load.If multiple threads using the "rlm_perl()" function are spawned in quick succession, the FreeRADIUS server sometimes terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault due to parallel calls to the "rlm_perl_clone()" function. With this update, a mutex for the threads has been added and the problem no longer occurs. * The man page for "rlm_dbm_parser" was incorrectly installed as "rlm_dbm_parse", omitting the trailing "r". The man page now correctly appearsas rlm_dbm_parser. They are also advised to check for RPM backup files ending in ".rpmnew" or ".rpmsave" under the /etc/raddb/ directory after the update because the FreeRADIUS server will attempt to load every file it finds in its configuration directory. The extra files will often cause the wrong configuration values to be applied resulting in either unpredictable behavior or the failure of the server to initialize and run. -- SL5 x86_64 freeradius2-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-debuginfo-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-krb5-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-ldap-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-mysql-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-perl-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-postgresql-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-python-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-unixODBC-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm freeradius2-utils-2.1.12-5.el5.x86_64.rpm i386 freeradius2-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-debuginfo-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-krb5-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-ldap-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-mysql-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-perl-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-postgresql-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-python-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-unixODBC-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm freeradius2-utils-2.1.12-5.el5.i386.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team .
