AXSA:2017-2240:02 advisory.

    * It was found that authenticating to a PostgreSQL database account with an
    empty password was possible despite libpq's refusal to send an empty password. A
    remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to gain access to database
    accounts with empty passwords. (CVE-2017-7546)
      * An authorization flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL handled access to the
    pg_user_mappings view on foreign servers. A remote, authenticated attacker could
    potentially use this flaw to retrieve passwords from the user mappings defined
    by the foreign server owners without actually having the privileges to do so.
    (CVE-2017-7547)
      * An authorization flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL handled large objects.
    A remote, authenticated attacker with no privileges on a large object could
    potentially use this flaw to overwrite the entire content of the object, thus
    resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2017-7548)
    Asianux would like to thank the PostgreSQL project for reporting these issues.
    Upstream acknowledges Ben de Graaff, Jelte Fennema, and Jeroen van der Ham as
    the original reporters of CVE-2017-7546; Jeff Janes as the original reporter
    of CVE-2017-7547; and Chapman Flack as the original reporter of CVE-2017-7548.
    CVE-2017-7546
    PostgreSQL versions before 9.2.22, 9.3.18, 9.4.13, 9.5.8 and 9.6.4 are
    vulnerable to incorrect authentication flaw allowing remote attackers
    to gain access to database accounts with an empty password.
    CVE-2017-7547
    PostgreSQL versions before 9.2.22, 9.3.18, 9.4.13, 9.5.8 and 9.6.4 are
    vulnerable to authorization flaw allowing remote authenticated
    attackers to retrieve passwords from the user mappings defined by the
    foreign server owners without actually having the privileges to do so.
    CVE-2017-7548
    PostgreSQL versions before 9.4.13, 9.5.8 and 9.6.4 are vulnerable to
