Description Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-09 05:11:19 UTC
Following CANs list <=8.0.1 as affected:

<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0244>
<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0245>
<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0246>
<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0247>

244 and 246 appear to be fixed according to the 8.0.1 changelog, maybe someone can verify that.

(Additional) patches for 245 and 246 seem to have been introduced after the release though.

Comment 1 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-10 11:32:44 UTC
Ubuntu fixed those with USN-79-1

Comment 2 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-10 13:10:05 UTC
Confirming fixed in 7.4.7 :
CAN-2005-0227
CAN-2005-0244
CAN-2005-0246

They also fixed : "Avoid buffer overrun when plpgsql cursor declaration has too
many parameters (Neil)" This appears to be CAN-2004-0245.

This leaves CAN-2004-0247 to treat, the patch for 7.4.7 can be found at :
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/pl/plpgsql/src/gram.y.diff?r1=1.48.2.1;r2=1.48.2.3;only_with_tag=REL7_4_STABLE

postgresql maintainers: You might want to also patch 8.0.1 using :
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/pl/plpgsql/src/gram.y.diff?r1=1.64.4.1;r2=1.64.4.3;only_with_tag=REL8_0_STABLE
Comment 3 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-11 12:40:03 UTC
Of course it is CAN-2005-0247 and not CAN-2004-0247.

Koon what is the status of CAN-2005-0245, is it fixed already?

GLSA drafted, Security please review.
Comment 4 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-11 13:00:55 UTC
Apparently yes. It's the same file anyway, so patching the last one will surely solve both.
Comment 5 Masatomo Nakano (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-11 13:42:23 UTC
I've applied the patche in 
  postgresql-7.3.9-r1.ebuild
