Description

The PostgreSQL project reports:

Using an UPDATE ... RETURNING on a purpose-crafted partitioned

table, an attacker can read arbitrary bytes of server memory. In the

default configuration, any authenticated database user can create

prerequisite objects and complete this attack at will. A user

lacking the CREATE and TEMPORARY privileges on all databases and the

CREATE privilege on all schemas typically cannot use this attack at

will.

Solution(s)

  • freebsd-upgrade-package-postgresql11-server
  • freebsd-upgrade-package-postgresql12-server
  • freebsd-upgrade-package-postgresql13-server

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
