Description
This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3677)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform DoS attack or gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak during parallel sort operations. A remote user can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack or read arbitrary memory parts on the system.
2) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39417)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the extension script @substitutions@, which uses @extowner@, @extschema@, or @extschema:...@ inside a quoting construct. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5868)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application in the aggregate function calls when handling "unknown"-type arguments. A remote user can read parts of system memory.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5869)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in array modification. A remote user can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
5) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5870)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to pg_cancel_backend rolse signals background workers, including the logical replication launcher, autovacuum workers and the autovacuum launcher. A remote privileged user can abuse this behavior and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Improper Privilege Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0985)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the database.
The vulnerability exists due to late privilege drop in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY. A remote user who is an object creator can execute arbitrary SQL functions as the command issuer.
7) Improper privilege management (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10976)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management in cases where a subquery, WITH query, security invoker view, or SQL-language function references a table with a row-level security policy. A remote user can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain unauthorized access to the database in cases where role-specific policies are used and a given query is planned under one role and then executed under other roles.
8) Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10977)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to spoof error messages from the database.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in libpq, which allows a server not trusted under current SSL or GSS settings to furnish arbitrary non-NUL bytes to the libpq application. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack to send a long error message that a human or screen-scraper user of psql mistakes for valid query results.
9) Incorrect privilege assignment (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10978)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the application.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect privilege assignment when application uses SET ROLE, SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION, or an equivalent feature. A remote user can force the application to reset their role to a wrong user ID and view or change different rows from those intended.
10) Improper authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10979)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect control of environment variables. A remote unprivileged database user can change sensitive process environment variables (e.g. PATH) and execute arbitrary code on the database server.
11) Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7348)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the database.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition when executing concurrent pg_dump sessions. A remote user with privileges to create and drop non-temporary objects can execute arbitrary SQL commands with the privileges of the role running pg_dump (which is often a superuser).
12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1094)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in the database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of quoting syntax in PostgreSQL libpq functions PQescapeLiteral(), PQescapeIdentifier(), PQescapeString(), and PQescapeStringConn() and within the command line utility programs when client_encoding is BIG5 and server_encoding is one of EUC_TW or MULE_INTERNAL. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary SQL queries in the database.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
13) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2455)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU40402 (CVE-2016-2193) that did not anticipate a scenario involving function inlining. This scenario can happen under security definer functions or when a common user and query is planned initially and then re-used across multiple SET ROLEs. Applying an incorrect policy may permit a user to complete otherwise-forbidden reads and modifications.
This affects only databases that have used CREATE POLICY to define a row security policy.
14) Security Features (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2193)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
PostgreSQL before 9.5.x before 9.5.2 does not properly maintain row-security status in cached plans, which might allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a session that performs queries as more than one role.
