Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS-2025-2764
Advisory Release Date: 2025-02-12 23:17 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2025-02-25 10:30 Pacific
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
Incorrect control of environment variables in PostgreSQL PL/Perl allows an unprivileged database user to change sensitive process environment variables (e.g. PATH). That often suffices to enable arbitrary code execution, even if the attacker lacks a database server operating system user. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10979)
Affected Packages:
postgresql
Note:
This advisory is applicable to Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) Core repository. Visit this FAQ section for the difference between AL2 Core and AL2 Extras advisories.
Issue Correction:
Run yum update postgresql to update your system.
