    Package : postgresql-8.4
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-0866 CVE-2012-0867 CVE-2012-0868

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

    CVE-2012-0866

    It was discovered that the permissions of a function called by a
    trigger are not checked. This could result in privilege escalation.

    CVE-2012-0867

    It was discovered that only the first 32 characters of a host name
    are checked when validating host names through SSL certificates.
    This could result in spoofing the connection in limited
    circumstances.

    CVE-2012-0868

    It was discovered that pg_dump did not sanitise object names.
    This could result in arbitrary SQL command execution if a
    malformed dump file is opened.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 8.4.11-0squeeze1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 8.4.11-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-8.4 packages.
