Updated postgresql9.4|6 packages fix security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 15 Nov 2018
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 6
CVE: CVE-2018-1058 , CVE-2018-1115 , CVE-2018-10915 , CVE-2018-10925

Description

A flaw was found in the way Postgresql allowed a user to modify the
behavior of a query for other users. An attacker with a user account
could use this flaw to execute code with the permissions of superuser in
the database (CVE-2018-1058).

Postgresql 9.6.x before 9.6.9 is vulnerable in the adminpack extension,
the pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate() function doesn't follow the same ACLs
than pg_rorate_logfile. If the adminpack is added to a database, an
attacker able to connect to it could exploit this to force log rotation
(CVE-2018-1115).

Andrew Krasichkov discovered that libpq did not reset all its connection
state during reconnects (CVE-2018-10915).

It was discovered that some "CREATE TABLE" statements could disclose
server memory (CVE-2018-10925).

Fully fixing these security issues requires manual intervention.  See
the upstream advisories for details.
