Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PostgreSQL (affected versions not specified)
Description
A flaw in PostgreSQL allows authenticated database users to execute arbitrary code through missing overflow checks during SQL array value modification. This issue exists due to an integer overflow during array modification where a remote user can trigger the overflow by providing specially crafted data. This enables the execution of arbitrary code on the target system, allowing users to write arbitrary bytes to memory and extensively read the server's memory.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
