Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL, the worst which |
| 19 |
could lead to privilege escalation. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management |
| 25 |
system. |
| 26 |

Description |
| 40 |
=========== |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL. Please |
| 43 |
review the referenced CVE identifiers for details. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
In addition it was discovered that Gentoo's PostgreSQL installation |
| 46 |
suffered from a privilege escalation vulnerability due to a runscript |
| 47 |
which called OpenRC's checkpath() on a user controlled path and allowed |
| 48 |
user running PostgreSQL to kill arbitrary processes via PID file |
| 49 |
manipulation. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Impact |
| 52 |
====== |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
A remote attacker could bypass certain client-side connection security |
| 55 |
features, read arbitrary server memory or alter certain data. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
In addition, a local attacker could gain privileges or cause a Denial |
| 58 |
of Service condition by killing arbitrary processes. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Workaround |
| 61 |
========== |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
