Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper authorization
EUVDB-ID: #VU100514
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10979
CWE-ID:
CWE-285 - Improper Authorization
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
Install update from vendor's website.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated user via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Improper privilege management
EUVDB-ID: #VU100511
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10976
CWE-ID:
CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.

3) Incorrect privilege assignment
EUVDB-ID: #VU100513
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10978
CWE-ID:
CWE-266 - Incorrect Privilege Assignment
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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) Security features bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU76042
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 0.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2455
CWE-ID:
CWE-254 - Security Features
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.

5) Security Features
EUVDB-ID: #VU40402
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2193
CWE-ID:
CWE-254 - Security Features
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
