Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32027)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when processing certain SQL array values during array subscribing calculation. An authenticated database user can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system and can be exploited by a remote unauthenticated attacker via SQL injection vulnerability in the frontend application.
