PostgreSQL 9.4.x < 9.4.24 / 9.5.x < 9.5.19 / 9.6.x < 9.6.15 / 10.x < 10.10 / 11.x < 11.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 9.4.x prior to 9.4.24, 9.5.x prior to 9.5.19, 9.6.x prior to 9.6.15, 10.x prior to 10.10, or 11.x prior to 11.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An unspecified vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL as the function's owner. (CVE-2019-10208)

- An insecure password handling vulnerability exists in the EnterpriseDB Windows intstaller due to use of a temporary file.
An attack can exploit this to read the PostgreSQL superuser password from the file. (CVE-2019-10210)

- An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in libeay32.dll due to use of a hard-coded configuration directory. An attacker can exploit this to load and execute arbitrary code as the user running a PostgreSQL server or client. (CVE-2019-10211)

Solution

Upgrade to PostgreSQL version 9.4.24 / 9.5.19 / 9.6.15 / 10.10 / 11.5 or later.
