Subject: [USN-6-1] postgresql contributed script vulnerability
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 02:52:20 +0200
===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6-1             October 27, 2004
postgresql contributed script vulnerability
CAN-2004-0977
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

postgresql-contrib

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 7.4.5-3ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Recently, Trustix Secure Linux discovered a vulnerability in the
postgresql-contrib package. The script "make_oidjoins_check" created
temporary files in an insecure way, which allowed a symlink attack to
create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user
invoking the script.
