The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2014-235:01 advisory.

    PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS) that supports almost all SQL     constructs (including transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The postgresql     package includes the client programs and libraries that you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server.
    These PostgreSQL client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal structure of     PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client programs can be located on the same machine with     the PostgreSQL server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL server over a network     connection. This package contains the docs in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line     utilities for managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.
    If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a local or remote PostgreSQL server, you need this     package. You also need to install this package if you're installing the postgresql-server package.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2014-0060     PostgreSQL before 8.4.20, 9.0.x before 9.0.16, 9.1.x before 9.1.12, 9.2.x before 9.2.7, and 9.3.x before     9.3.3 does not properly enforce the ADMIN OPTION restriction, which allows remote authenticated members of     a role to add or remove arbitrary users to that role by calling the SET ROLE command before the associated     GRANT command.
     CVE-2014-0061     The validator functions for the procedural languages (PLs) in PostgreSQL before 8.4.20, 9.0.x before     9.0.16, 9.1.x before 9.1.12, 9.2.x before 9.2.7, and 9.3.x before 9.3.3 allow remote authenticated users     to gain privileges via a function that is (1) defined in another language or (2) not allowed to be     directly called by the user due to permissions.
     CVE-2014-0062     No information available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE link provided below.
     CVE-2014-0063     Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in PostgreSQL before 8.4.20, 9.0.x before 9.0.16, 9.1.x before     9.1.12, 9.2.x before 9.2.7, and 9.3.x before 9.3.3 allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of     service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to an incorrect MAXDATELEN constant     and datetime values involving (1) intervals, (2) timestamps, or (3) timezones, a different vulnerability     than CVE-2014-0065.
     CVE-2014-0064     Multiple integer overflows in the path_in and other unspecified functions in PostgreSQL before 8.4.20,     9.0.x before 9.0.16, 9.1.x before 9.1.12, 9.2.x before 9.2.7, and 9.3.x before 9.3.3 allow remote     authenticated users to have unspecified impact and attack vectors, which trigger a buffer overflow. NOTE:
    this identifier has been SPLIT due to different affected versions; use CVE-2014-2669 for the hstore     vector.
     CVE-2014-0065     Multiple buffer overflows in PostgreSQL before 8.4.20, 9.0.x before 9.0.16, 9.1.x before 9.1.12, 9.2.x     before 9.2.7, and 9.3.x before 9.3.3 allow remote authenticated users to have unspecified impact and     attack vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-0063.
     CVE-2014-0066     The chkpass extension in PostgreSQL before 8.4.20, 9.0.x before 9.0.16, 9.1.x before 9.1.12, 9.2.x before     9.2.7, and 9.3.x before 9.3.3 does not properly check the return value of the crypt library function,     which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash)     via unspecified vectors.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Various vulnerabilities were discovered in PostgreSQL :

  - CVE-2014-0060 Shore up GRANT ... WITH ADMIN OPTION     restrictions (Noah Misch)     Granting a role without ADMIN OPTION is supposed to     prevent the grantee from adding or removing members from     the granted role, but this restriction was easily     bypassed by doing SET ROLE first. The security impact is     mostly that a role member can revoke the access of     others, contrary to the wishes of his grantor.
    Unapproved role member additions are a lesser concern,     since an uncooperative role member could provide most of     his rights to others anyway by creating views or     SECURITY DEFINER functions.

  - CVE-2014-0061 Prevent privilege escalation via manual     calls to PL validator functions (Andres Freund)

    The primary role of PL validator functions is to be     called implicitly during CREATE FUNCTION, but they are     also normal SQL functions that a user can call     explicitly. Calling a validator on a function actually     written in some other language was not checked for and     could be exploited for privilege-escalation purposes.
    The fix involves adding a call to a privilege-checking     function in each validator function. Non-core procedural     languages will also need to make this change to their     own validator functions, if any.

  - CVE-2014-0062 Avoid multiple name lookups during table     and index DDL (Robert Haas, Andres Freund)

    If the name lookups come to different conclusions due to     concurrent activity, we might perform some parts of the     DDL on a different table than other parts. At least in     the case of CREATE INDEX, this can be used to cause the     permissions checks to be performed against a different     table than the index creation, allowing for a privilege     escalation attack.

  - CVE-2014-0063 Prevent buffer overrun with long datetime     strings (Noah Misch)

    The MAXDATELEN constant was too small for the longest     possible value of type interval, allowing a buffer     overrun in interval_out(). Although the datetime input     functions were more careful about avoiding buffer     overrun, the limit was short enough to cause them to     reject some valid inputs, such as input containing a     very long timezone name. The ecpg library contained     these vulnerabilities along with some of its own.

  - CVE-2014-0064 CVE-2014-2669 Prevent buffer overrun due     to integer overflow in size calculations (Noah Misch,     Heikki Linnakangas)

    Several functions, mostly type input functions,     calculated an allocation size without checking for     overflow. If overflow did occur, a too-small buffer     would be allocated and then written past.

  - CVE-2014-0065 Prevent overruns of fixed-size buffers     (Peter Eisentraut, Jozef Mlich)

    Use strlcpy() and related functions to provide a clear     guarantee that fixed-size buffers are not overrun.
    Unlike the preceding items, it is unclear whether these     cases really represent live issues, since in most cases     there appear to be previous constraints on the size of     the input string. Nonetheless it seems prudent to     silence all Coverity warnings of this type.

  - CVE-2014-0066 Avoid crashing if crypt() returns NULL     (Honza Horak, Bruce Momjian)

    There are relatively few scenarios in which crypt()     could return NULL, but contrib/chkpass would crash if it     did. One practical case in which this could be an issue     is if libc is configured to refuse to execute unapproved     hashing algorithms (e.g., 'FIPS mode').

  - CVE-2014-0067 Document risks of make check in the     regression testing instructions (Noah Misch, Tom Lane)

    Since the temporary server started by make check uses     'trust' authentication, another user on the same machine     could connect to it as database superuser, and then     potentially exploit the privileges of the     operating-system user who started the tests. A future     release will probably incorporate changes in the testing     procedure to prevent this risk, but some public     discussion is needed first. So for the moment, just warn     people against using make check when there are untrusted     users on the same machine.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in postgresql :

Granting a role without ADMIN OPTION is supposed to prevent the grantee from adding or removing members from the granted role, but this restriction was easily bypassed by doing SET ROLE first. The security impact is mostly that a role member can revoke the access of others, contrary to the wishes of his grantor.

This advisory provides the latest version of PostgreSQL that is not vulnerable to these issues.

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 8.4.x prior to 8.4.20, 9.0.x prior to 9.0.16, 9.1.x prior to 9.1.12, 9.2.x prior to 9.2.7 or 9.3.x prior to 9.3.3.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - SET ROLE bypasses lack of ADMIN OPTION when granting     roles. (CVE-2014-0060)

  - It is possible to elevate privileges via calls to     validator functions. (CVE-2014-0061)

  - It is possible to elevate privileges via a race     condition in CREATE INDEX. (CVE-2014-0062)

  - Potential buffer overruns exist due to integer overflow     in size calculations. (CVE-2014-0063)

  - Potential buffer overruns exist in datetime     input/output. (CVE-2014-0064)

  - Multiple fixed-size buffers exist that could potentially     be overflowed. (CVE-2014-0065)

  - A potential NULL pointer dereference crash is possible     when crypt(3) returns NULL. (CVE-2014-0066)     
  - Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities exist in     'hstore_io.c' (CVE-2014-2669)

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update which has been documented in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2014:0221.
