postgresql is vulnerable to authentication bypass. A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL handles LDAP-based authentication. If PostgreSQL was configured to use LDAP authentication and the LDAP server was configured to allow anonymous binds, anyone able to connect to a given database could use this flaw to log in as any database user, including a PostgreSQL superuser, without supplying a password.
