Summary
The remote host is missing an update to perl-DBD-Pg announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:344.
Insight
Insight
Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and corrected in perl-DBD-Pg: Heap-based buffer overflow in the DBD::Pg module for Perl might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified input to an application that uses the getline and pg_getline functions to read database rows. Memory leak in the dequote_bytea function in quote.c in the DBD::Pg (aka DBD-Pg or libdbd-pg-perl) module before 2.0.0 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by fetching data with BYTEA columns (CVE-2009-1341). Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. This update provides a fix for these vulnerabilities. Affected: 2008.0
