Several vulnerabilities were discovered in PostgreSQL database server.
CVE-2013-1899Mitsumasa Kondo and Kyotaro Horiguchi of NTT Open Source Software Center
discovered that it was possible for a connection request containing a
database name that begins with -
to be crafted that can damage or
destroy files within a serverโs data directory. Anyone with access to the
port the PostgreSQL server listens on can initiate this request.
CVE-2013-1900
Random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be easy for
another database user to guess.
CVE-2013-1901
An unprivileged user could run commands that could interfere with
in-progress backups.
