Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) 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.


2) 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.


3) 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.


4) 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.
