Multiple vulnerabilities in the PostgreSQL server and client allow
remote attacker to conduct several attacks, including the execution of
arbitrary code and Denial of Service.
Назначение
PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management
system.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL. Please
review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Воздействие
A remote authenticated attacker could send a specially crafted SQL query
to a PostgreSQL server with the "intarray" module enabled, possibly
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
PostgreSQL server process, or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore,
a remote authenticated attacker could execute arbitrary Perl code, cause
a Denial of Service condition via different vectors, bypass LDAP
authentication, bypass X.509 certificate validation, gain database
privileges, exploit weak blowfish encryption and possibly cause other
unspecified impact.
Обход
There is no known workaround at this time.
Решение
