Description Thomas Biege 2004-10-29 15:03:04 UTC
Hi, 
there are tmp races in some scripts. 
 
STABLE-only fix is sufficient.

Betreff: 	[USN-6-1] postgresql contributed script vulnerability 
Datum: 		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.
