Discussion

Apache mod_auth_pgsql Multiple Format String Vulnerabilities

The mod_auth_pgsql module is prone to multiple format-string vulnerabilities. These issues are due to the application's failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input before including it in the format-specification argument of formatted printing functions.

These issues could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the webserver user and gain unauthorized access.
