TITLE:
Red Hat update for perl-DBD-Pg
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35058
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35058/
DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for perl-DBD-Pg. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause
a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable
system.
1) A boundary error exists within the "pg_db_putline()" function in
dbdimp.c. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow
if malicious rows are retrieved from the database using the
"pg_getline()" or "getline()" function.
2) A memory leak exists within the function "dequote_bytea()" in
quote.c, which can be exploited to cause a memory exhaustion.
SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
