Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23214)

CWE-ID: CWE-311 - Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the way PostgreSQL handles encrypted connections. When the server is configured to use trust authentication with a clientcert requirement or to use cert authentication, a man-in-the-middle attacker can inject arbitrary SQL queries when a connection is first established, despite the use of SSL certificate verification and encryption.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
