PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL which may allow a remote attacker to conduct several attacks. PostgreSQL September 28, 2012 January 20, 2014: 2 406037 419727 431766 remote 9.1.5 9.0.9 8.4.13 8.3.20 8.4.17 8.4.19 9.0.13 9.0.14 9.0.15 8.4.14 8.4.15 8.4.16 9.0.16 9.0.17 9.1.5

PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management system.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

A remote attacker could spoof SSL connections. Furthermore, a remote authenticated attacker could cause a Denial of Service, read and write arbitrary files, inject SQL commands into dump scripts, or bypass database restrictions to execute database functions.

A context-dependent attacker could more easily obtain access via authentication attempts with an initial substring of the intended password.

There is no known workaround at this time.
