The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 5.04, has postgresql packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • Privilege escalation flaws were found in the Red Hat initialization scripts of PostgreSQL. An attacker with access to the postgres user account could use these flaws to obtain root access on the server machine.
    (CVE-2017-15097)

  • Privilege escalation flaws were found in the initialization scripts of PostgreSQL. An attacker with access to the postgres user account could use these flaws to obtain root access on the server machine.
    (CVE-2017-12172)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
