The + vulnerability exists in the PostgreSQL abstract data type (ADT) to + ASCII conversion functions. + + It has been conjectured that excessive data passed to the involved + to_ascii_xxx() functions may overrun the bounds of an insufficient + buffer reserved in heap memory, resulting in the corruption of heap + based memory management structures that are adjacent to it. It is + currently believed that under the correct circumstances an attacker + may use this to execute arbitrary instructions in the context of the + PostgreSQL server. + + The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id + CAN-2003-0901 [1] to the problem. + + Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q + postgresql". If you have the "postgresql" package installed and its + version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately + upgrade it (see Solution). [2][3] + +Solution: + Select the updated source RPM appropriate for the OpenPKG release + [4], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [5] or a mirror location, + verify its integrity [6], build a corresponding binary RPM from it + [2] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM + [3]. For the release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the following operations + to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust + accordingly). + + $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org + ftp> bin + ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD + ftp> get postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.src.rpm + ftp> bye + $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.src.rpm + $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.src.rpm + $ su - + # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.*.rpm +________________________________________________________________________ + +References: + [0] http://www.postgresql.org/ + [1] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0901 + [2] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-source + [3] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-binary + [4] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.2/UPD/postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.src.rpm + [5] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.2/UPD/ + [6] http://www.openpkg.org/security.html#signature +________________________________________________________________________ + +For security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the +OpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" (ID 63C4CB9F) of the +OpenPKG project which you can retrieve from http://pgp.openpkg.org and +hkp://pgp.openpkg.org.
