DSA-577-1 postgresql -- insecure temporary file

Debian Security Advisory

DSA-577-1 postgresql -- insecure temporary file

Date Reported:

29 Oct 2004

Affected Packages:

postgresql

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 278336.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2004-0977.

More information:

Trustix Security Engineers identified insecure temporary file creation in a script included in the postgresql suite, an object-relational SQL database. This could lead an attacker to trick a user to overwrite arbitrary files he has write access to.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 7.2.1-2woody6.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 7.4.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
