Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL, an object-relational SQL database. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2007-3278 It was discovered that the DBLink module performed insufficient credential validation. This issue is also tracked as CVE-2007-6601, since the initial upstream fix was incomplete.
CVE-2007-4769 Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry discovered that a bug in the handling of back-references inside the regular expressions engine could lead to an out of bounds read, resulting in a crash. This constitutes only a security problem if an application using PostgreSQL processes regular expressions from untrusted sources.
CVE-2007-4772 Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry discovered that the optimizer for regular expression could be tricked into an infinite loop, resulting in denial of service. This constitutes only a security problem if an application using PostgreSQL processes regular expressions from untrusted sources.
CVE-2007-6067 Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry discovered that the optimizer for regular expression could be tricked massive resource consumption. This constitutes only a security problem if an application using PostgreSQL processes regular expressions from untrusted sources.
CVE-2007-6600 Functions in index expressions could lead to privilege escalation. For a more in depth explanation please see the upstream announce available at http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.905.
