Published: June 2, 2017 / Updated: June 5, 2017


Vulnerability identifier: #VU6892
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7484
CWE-ID: CWE-200
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper privilege checking before providing information from pg_statistic. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to bypass SELECT privilege checks, cause memory leak and steal some information from ostensibly restricted tables.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information disclosure.
