Discussion

PostgreSQL Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities

Multiple remote vulnerabilities affect PostgreSQL. These issues are due to design errors, buffer-mismanagement errors, and causes that are currently unspecified.

The vulnerabilities are as follows:

- The application fails to enforce function permissions.
- A buffer overflow is triggered when cursor declaration occurs.
- A denial-of-service issue resides in 'contrib/intagg'.

Not enough information is currently available to provide a more in-depth technical description. This BID will be updated when more details are available.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the vulnerable database process and to execute functions without requiring permission. Other attacks are also possible.

The following proof of concept has been provided for the buffer-overflow issues in the PL/PGSQL functionality:
