Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

Opensuse: 15.1

CPE2.3 External links

https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-08/msg00043.html


Q & A

2) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU14327

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10925

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote privileged attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper check authorization on certain statements involved with "INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE". A remote attacker with "CREATE TABLE" privileges can read arbitrary bytes server memory.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

Opensuse: 15.1

3) Security restrictions bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU12652

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 5.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:H/SA:H/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1115

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists in the pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate() function due to improper Access Control List (ACL) restrictions as it does not follow the same ACLs as the pg_rorate_logfile function. A remote attacker can connect to the database and cause the target software to force log rotation, write log messages across arbitrary log files or cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

Opensuse: 15.1

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated user via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU18424

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10130

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of row security policies. A remote attacker can use statistics, generated for tables to bypass row security policies and gain access to restricted rows.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

5) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU20003

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10208

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to way PostreSQL processes SECURITY DEFINER functions. A privileged attacker with EXECUTE permission, which must itself contain a function call having inexact argument type match, can execute arbitrary SQL query under the identity of the function owner.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

6) Untrusted search path

EUVDB-ID: #VU45749

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14350

CWE-ID: CWE-426 - Untrusted Search Path

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the database.

The vulnerability exists due to the way PostgreSQL handles CREATE EXTENSION statements. A remote user with permission to create objects in the new extension's schema or a schema of a prerequisite extension can execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity of the superuser in certain cases.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

7) Improper Authorization

EUVDB-ID: #VU25333

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1720

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform unauthorized modification of data in database.

The vulnerability exists due to the ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION sub-commands do not perform authorization checks, which can allow an unprivileged user to drop any function, procedure, materialized view, index, or trigger under certain conditions. This attack is possible if an administrator has installed an extension and an unprivileged user can CREATE, or an extension owner either executes DROP EXTENSION predictably or can be convinced to execute DROP EXTENSION.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
