CVE-2018-10915

A vulnerability was found in libpq, the default PostgreSQL client library where libpq failed to properly reset its internal state between connections. If an affected version of libpq was used with "host" or "hostaddr" connection parameters from untrusted input, attackers could bypass client-side connection security features, obtain access to higher privileged connections or potentially cause other impact through SQL injection, by causing the PQescape() functions to malfunction. Postgresql versions before 10.5, 9.6.10, 9.5.14, 9.4.19, and 9.3.24 are affected.

Se ha encontrado una vulnerabilidad en qemu-img, la biblioteca de cliente por defecto de PostgreSQL por la que libpq fracasa a la hora de restablecer su estado interno entre conexiones. Si se emplea una versión afectada de libpq se emplea con parámetros de conexión "host" o "hostaddr" desde entradas no fiables, los atacantes podrían omitir características de seguridad de conexión del lado del cliente, obtener acceso a conexiones con mayores privilegios o, posiblemente, provocar otro tipo de impacto mediante una inyección SQL. Esto se lograría haciendo que las funciones PQescape() funcionen erróneamente. Se han visto afectadas las versiones anteriores a la 10.5, 9.6.10, 9.5.14, 9.4.19 y 9.3.24 de PostgreSQL.
