CVE-2009-0922

Publication date 17 March 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

PostgreSQL before 8.3.7, 8.2.13, 8.1.17, 8.0.21, and 7.4.25 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) by triggering a failure in the conversion of a localized error message to a client-specified encoding, as demonstrated using mismatched encoding conversion requests.

Notes

mdeslaur

the denial of service is only temporary, so impact isn't great. (should this be changed to "low priority"?) upstream patch replaces core dump due to stack overflow with core dump due to abort(), so doesn't fix temporary DoS see http://archives.postgresql.org//pgsql-bugs/2009-02/msg00190.php
