Oracle Linux: CVE-2023-5870: ELSA-2023-7785: postgresql:15 security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)
Description
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL involving the pg_cancel_backend role that signals background workers, including the logical replication launcher, autovacuum workers, and the autovacuum launcher. Successful exploitation requires a non-core extension with a less-resilient background worker and would affect that specific background worker only. This issue may allow a remote high privileged user to launch a denial of service (DoS) attack.
