Debian Security Advisory
DSA-1780-1 libdbd-pg-perl -- several vulnerabilities
- Date Reported:
- 28 Apr 2009
- Affected Packages:
- libdbd-pg-perl
- Vulnerable:
- Yes
- Security database references:
- In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2009-0663, CVE-2009-1341.
- More information:
-
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in libdbd-pg-perl, the DBI driver module for PostgreSQL database access (DBD::Pg).
- CVE-2009-0663
A heap-based buffer overflow may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code through applications which read rows from the database using the pg_getline and getline functions. (More common retrieval methods, such as selectall_arrayref and fetchrow_array, are not affected.)
- CVE-2009-1341
A memory leak in the routine which unquotes BYTEA values returned from the database allows attackers to cause a denial of service.
For the old stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.49-2+etch1.
For the stable distribution (lenny) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.3-1 before the release of lenny.
We recommend that you upgrade your libdbd-pg-perl package.
