    Package : postgresql-8.3
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2010-0442 CVE-2010-1169 CVE-2010-1170 CVE-2010-1975

    Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL, an object-relational SQL database. The Common Vulnerabilities and
    Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2010-1169

    Tim Bunce discovered that the implementation of the procedural
    language PL/Perl insufficiently restricts the subset of allowed
    code, which allows authenticated users the execution of arbitrary
    Perl code.

    CVE-2010-1170

    Tom Lane discovered that the implementation of the procedural
    language PL/Tcl insufficiently restricts the subset of allowed
    code, which allows authenticated users the execution of arbitrary
    Tcl code.

    CVE-2010-1975

    It was discovered that an unprivileged user could reset
    superuser-only parameter settings.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 8.3.11-0lenny1. This update also introduces a fix for
    CVE-2010-0442, which was originally scheduled for the next Lenny point
    update.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 8.4.4-1 of postgresql-8.4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-8.3 packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
