postgresql-15 15.7-0ubuntu0.23.10.1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-15 (15.7-0ubuntu0.23.10.1) mantic-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version (LP: #2067388).

    + A dump/restore is not required for those running 15.X.

    + However, a security vulnerability was found in the system views
      pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs, potentially allowing
      authenticated database users to see data they shouldn't. If this is of
      concern in your installation, follow the steps below to rectify it.

    + Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 15.6, see
      those release notes as well please.

    + Restrict visibility of pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs entries
      to the table owner (Nathan Bossart)

      These views failed to hide statistics for expressions that involve
      columns the accessing user does not have permission to read. View
      columns such as most_common_vals might expose security-relevant
      data. The potential interactions here are not fully clear, so in the
      interest of erring on the side of safety, make rows in these views
      visible only to the owner of the associated table.

      The PostgreSQL Project thanks Lukas Fittl for reporting this
      problem.

      By itself, this fix will only fix the behavior in newly initdb'd
      database clusters. If you wish to apply this change in an existing
      cluster, you will need to do the following:

        - In each database of the cluster, run the
          /usr/share/postgresql/15/fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql script as superuser. In
          psql this would look like:

            \i /usr/share/postgresql/15/fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql

          It will not hurt to run the script more than once.

        - Do not forget to include the template0 and template1 databases,
          or the vulnerability will still exist in databases you create
          later. To fix template0, you'll need to temporarily make it accept
          connections. Do that with:

            ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS true;

          and then after fixing template0, undo it with:

            ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS false;

      (CVE-2024-4317)

postgresql-15: The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database

 PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a free and open-source relational
 database management system (RDBMS) emphasizing extensibility and SQL
 compliance. It features transactions with Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation,
 Durability (ACID) properties, automatically updatable views, materialized
 views, triggers, foreign keys, and stored procedures. It is designed to handle
 a range of workloads, from single machines to data warehouses or Web services
