Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2425-01 - PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-postgresql95-postgresql. Security Fix: A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL server handled certain SQL statements containing CASE/WHEN commands. A remote, authenticated attacker could use a specially crafted SQL statement to cause PostgreSQL to crash or disclose a few bytes of server memory or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Synopsis: Moderate: rh-postgresql95-postgresql security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:2425-01
Product: Red Hat Satellite
Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2425
Issue date: 2017-08-07
CVE Names: CVE-2016-5423 CVE-2016-5424 CVE-2017-7484
CVE-2017-7485 CVE-2017-7486
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for rh-postgresql95-postgresql is now available for Red Hat
Satellite 5.7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

This update applies only to Satellite 5.7 instances using either embedded
or managed PostgreSQL databases.

There are manual steps required in order to finish the migration from
postgresql92-postgresql to rh-postgresql95-postgresql. If these steps are
not undertaken, the affected Satellite will continue to use PostgreSQL 9.2.

postgresql92-postgresql will be upgraded automatically to
rh-postgresql95-postgresql as part of an upgrade to Satellite 5.8.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Satellite 5.7 (RHEL v.6) - noarch, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Satellite Managed DB 5.7 (RHEL v.6) - noarch, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
(DBMS).

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
rh-postgresql95-postgresql (9.5.7). (BZ#1449701)

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL server handled certain SQL
statements containing CASE/WHEN commands. A remote, authenticated attacker
could use a specially crafted SQL statement to cause PostgreSQL to crash or
disclose a few bytes of server memory or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-5423)

* A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL client programs handled database
and role names containing newlines, carriage returns, double quotes, or
backslashes. By crafting such an object name, roles with the CREATEDB or
CREATEROLE option could escalate their privileges to superuser when a
superuser next executes maintenance with a vulnerable client program.
(CVE-2016-5424)

* It was found that some selectivity estimation functions did not check
user privileges before providing information from pg_statistic, possibly
leaking information. A non-administrative database user could use this flaw
to steal some information from tables they are otherwise not allowed to
access. (CVE-2017-7484)

* It was discovered that the PostgreSQL client library (libpq) did not
enforce the use of TLS/SSL for a connection to a PostgreSQL server when the
PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was set. An man-in-the-middle attacker
could use this flaw to strip the SSL/TLS protection from a connection
between a client and a server. (CVE-2017-7485)

* It was found that the pg_user_mappings view could disclose information
about user mappings to a foreign database to non-administrative database
users. A database user with USAGE privilege for this mapping could, when
querying the view, obtain user mapping data, such as the username and
password used to connect to the foreign database. (CVE-2017-7486)

Red Hat would like to thank the PostgreSQL project for reporting these
issues. Upstream acknowledges Robert Haas as the original reporter of
CVE-2017-7484; Daniel Gustafsson as the original reporter of CVE-2017-7485;
and Andrew Wheelwright as the original reporter of CVE-2017-7486.

4. Solution:

As part of this upgrade, PostgreSQL data files will be moved from
/opt/rh/postgresql92/root/var/lib/pgsql/ to
/var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql95/lib/pgsql/.

Before proceeding with command line portion of the upgrade please insure
that there is enough free space under the /var/opt directory. The amount of
free space required should be at least equal to size of your
/opt/rh/postgresql92/root/var/lib/pgsql/ directory. This size can be
determined using the following command:

du -sh /opt/rh/postgresql92/root/var/lib/pgsql/

After updating packages, run following command on your database machine
(NOTE: in the embedded-database case this is the Satellite system itself;
otherwise, run the command on the system running your PostgreSQL database):

/usr/bin/spacewalk-upgrade-postgresql

postgresql92-postgresql will be upgraded to rh-postgresql95-postgresql.
