The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'postgresql-8.1' package(s) announced via the DSA-1460-1 advisory. Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL, an object-relational SQL database, which could lead to credential validation issues, out of bounds read, denial of service, resource consumption, and privilege escalation

CVE-2007-3278

It was discovered that the DBLink module performed insufficient credential validation. This issue is also tracked as CVE-2007-6601, since the initial upstream fix was incomplete.

CVE-2007-4769

Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry discovered that a bug in the handling of back-references inside the regular expressions engine could lead to an out of bounds read, resulting in a crash. This constitutes only a security problem if an application using PostgreSQL processes regular expressions from untrusted sources.

CVE-2007-4772

Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry discovered that the optimizer for regular expression could be tricked into an infinite loop, resulting in denial of service. This constitutes only a security problem if an application using PostgreSQL processes regular expressions from untrusted sources.

CVE-2007-6067

Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry discovered that the optimizer for regular expression could be tricked massive resource consumption. This constitutes only a security problem if an application using PostgreSQL processes regular expressions from untrusted sources.

CVE-2007-6600

Functions in index expressions could lead to privilege escalation. For a more in depth explanation please see the upstream announce available at [link moved to references].

The old stable distribution (sarge), doesn't contain postgresql-8.1.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version postgresql-8.1 8.1.11-0etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 8.2.6-1 of postgresql-8.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-8.1 (8.1.11-0etch1) package.");
