1. Topic:
Updated mod_auth_pgsql packages are now available for Red Hat Linux
7.2. These updates close a vulnerability which would allow a
malicious client to cause a Web server to execute arbitrary SQL
statements. A bug in the MD5 password mechanism causing valid
passwords not to authenticate the user has also been fixed.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386
3. Problem description:
The updated mod_auth_pgsql packages close a vulnerability which would
allow a malicious client to cause a Web server to execute arbitrary
SQL statements. Several Apache authentication modules which use SQL
databases to store authentication information are vulnerable to a
remote SQL code injection attack. A bug in the MD5 password mechanism
causing valid passwords not to authenticate the user has also been
fixed.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only
those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs
which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated.
Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current
directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat
Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our key
is available at:
http://www.redhat.com/about/contact/pgpkey.html
You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm --checksig <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
