Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU41872

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-2669

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

Multiple integer overflows in contrib/hstore/hstore_io.c in PostgreSQL 9.0.x before 9.0.16, 9.1.x before 9.1.12, 9.2.x before 9.2.7, and 9.3.x before 9.3.3 allow remote authenticated users to have unspecified impact via vectors related to the (1) hstore_recv, (2) hstore_from_arrays, and (3) hstore_from_array functions in contrib/hstore/hstore_io.c; and the (4) hstoreArrayToPairs function in contrib/hstore/hstore_op.c, which triggers a buffer overflow. NOTE: this issue was SPLIT from CVE-2014-0064 because it has a different set of affected versions.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

PostgreSQL: 9.0 - 9.3.2
