Vulnerable software:
PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL Global Development Group

Description

The 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.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
