Several vulnerabilities were discovered in PostgreSQL, a relational
database server system. The 8.4 branch is EOLed upstream, but still
present in Debian squeeze. This new LTS minor version contains the
fixes that were applied upstream to the 9.0.19 version, backported to
8.4.22 which was the last version officially released by the PostgreSQL
developers. This LTS effort for squeeze-lts is a community project
sponsored by credativ GmbH.

  • CVE-2014-8161
    Information leak
    A user with limited clearance on a table might have access to information
    in columns without SELECT rights on through server error messages.
  • CVE-2015-0241
    Out of boundaries read/write
    The function to_char() might read/write past the end of a buffer. This
    might crash the server when a formatting template is processed.
  • CVE-2015-0243
    Buffer overruns in contrib/pgcrypto
    The pgcrypto module is vulnerable to stack buffer overrun that might
    crash the server.
  • CVE-2015-0244
    SQL command injection
    Emil Lenngren reported that an attacker can inject SQL commands when the
    synchronization between client and server is lost.

For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in postgresql-8.4 version 8.4.22lts1-0+deb6u1
