"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has libpq packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:
- Incorrect control of environment variables in PostgreSQL PL/Perl allows an unprivileged database user to
change sensitive process environment variables (e.g. PATH). That often suffices to enable arbitrary code
execution, even if the attacker lacks a database server operating system user. Versions before PostgreSQL
17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10979)
- schema_element defeats protective search_path changes; It was found that certain database calls in
PostgreSQL could permit an authed attacker with elevated database-level privileges to execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2023-2454)
- A flaw was found in PostgreSQL that 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. (CVE-2023-5869)
- Late privilege drop in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY in PostgreSQL allows an object creator to
execute arbitrary SQL functions as the command issuer. The command intends to run SQL functions as the
owner of the materialized view, enabling safe refresh of untrusted materialized views. The victim is a
superuser or member of one of the attacker's roles. The attack requires luring the victim into running
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY on the attacker's materialized view. Versions before PostgreSQL
16.2, 15.6, 14.11, 13.14, and 12.18 are affected. (CVE-2024-0985)
- Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows an object creator to
execute arbitrary SQL functions as the user running pg_dump, which is often a superuser. The attack
involves replacing another relation type with a view or foreign table. The attack requires waiting for
pg_dump to start, but winning the race condition is trivial if the attacker retains an open transaction.
Versions before PostgreSQL 16.4, 15.8, 14.13, 13.16, and 12.20 are affected. (CVE-2024-7348)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
