Description:Summary:
PostgreSQL is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the
application fails to properly validate the domain name in a signed CA certificate, allowing attackers
to substitute malicious SSL certificates for trusted ones.

PostgreSQL is also prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to perform man-in-the-
middle attacks or impersonate trusted servers, which will aid in further attacks.

Exploiting the privilege-escalation vulnerability allows local attackers to gain elevated
privileges.

Affected Software/OS:
PostgreSQL versions prior to 8.4.2, 8.3.9, 8.2.15, 8.1.19, 8.0.23, and
7.4.27 are vulnerable to this issue.

Solution:
Updates are available. Please see the references for more information.
