CVE-2022-41946

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pgjdbc versions prior to 4.5.0

Description The issue is related to the implementation of the PreparedStatement.setText() or PreparedStatement.setBytea() methods in the PgJDBC driver, which can lead to the creation of temporary files that are readable by other users on Unix-like systems. This is an information disclosure issue, where an attacker could potentially access sensitive information. The vulnerability is dependent on the version of the JDK being used.

Recommendations For Java 1.7 and higher users, update to version 4.5.0 to fix the issue. For Java 1.6 and lower users, no patch is available, but specifying the java.io.tmpdir system environment variable to a directory exclusively owned by the executing user can mitigate this vulnerability.
