CVE-2018-1115
CVSS v2.0
9.4
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PostgreSQL versions prior to 10.4
PostgreSQL versions prior to 9.6.9
Description
The issue is related to insufficient access control in the
pg catalog.pg logfile rotate() function of the adminpack extension in PostgreSQL. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to impact the integrity of protected information or cause a denial of service. The pg catalog.pg logfile rotate() function does not follow the same access control lists (ACLs) as pg rotate logfile. If the adminpack is added to a database, an attacker who can connect to it may exploit this to force log rotation.Recommendations
For versions prior to 10.4, update to version 10.4 or later to resolve the issue.
For versions prior to 9.6.9, update to version 9.6.9 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
pg catalog.pg logfile rotate() function to minimize the risk of exploitation.Fix
Incorrect Permission
Improper Access Control
