PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL, the worst which could lead to privilege escalation. postgresql 2018-10-30 2018-10-30 603716 603720 664332 local, remote 9.3.24 9.4.19 9.5.14 9.6.10 10.5 10.5

PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management system.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL. Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

In addition it was discovered that Gentoo’s PostgreSQL installation suffered from a privilege escalation vulnerability due to a runscript which called OpenRC’s checkpath() on a user controlled path and allowed user running PostgreSQL to kill arbitrary processes via PID file manipulation.

A remote attacker could bypass certain client-side connection security features, read arbitrary server memory or alter certain data.

In addition, a local attacker could gain privileges or cause a Denial of Service condition by killing arbitrary processes.

There is no known workaround at this time.
