  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2009:0479 advisory.

    Perl DBI is a database access Application Programming Interface (API) for
    the Perl language. perl-DBD-Pg allows Perl applications to access
    PostgreSQL database servers.

    A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the pg_getline function
    implementation. If the pg_getline or getline functions read large,
    untrusted records from a database, it could cause an application using
    these functions to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2009-0663)

    Note: After installing this update, pg_getline may return more data than
    specified by its second argument, as this argument will be ignored. This is
    consistent with current upstream behavior. Previously, the length limit
    (the second argument) was not enforced, allowing a buffer overflow.

    A memory leak flaw was found in the function performing the de-quoting of
    BYTEA type values acquired from a database. An attacker able to cause an
    application using perl-DBD-Pg to perform a large number of SQL queries
    returning BYTEA records, could cause the application to use excessive
    amounts of memory or, possibly, crash. (CVE-2009-1341)

    All users of perl-DBD-Pg are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
    which contains backported patches to fix these issues. Applications using
    perl-DBD-Pg must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
