CVE-2018-10915: Infoleak
First published: Mon Jul 30 2018(Updated: )
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. The chief PostgreSQL client library, libpq, does not adequately reset its internal state before each connection attempt. When one requests a connection using a "host" or "hostaddr" connection parameter provided by an untrusted party, that party can thwart three security-relevant features of the client. First, they can cause PQconnectionUsedPassword() to erroneously return true. Users of contrib module "dblink" or "postgres_fdw" can leverage that to use server-side login credentials that they should not be able to use. Second, attackers can cause the PQescape*() family of functions to malfunction, permitting SQL injection in "postgres_fdw" and likely in other applications. Third, attackers can cause sslmode=prefer to not attempt SSL/TLS at all
