Description Murray McAllister 2014-02-14 02:43:32 EST

It was found that the chkpass extension did not check the result of a call to crypt(). An authenticated database user could possibly trigger this flaw and cause PostgreSQL to crash.

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank the PostgreSQL project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Honza Horak and Bruce Momjian as the original reporters.

Comment 5 Vincent Danen 2014-02-18 18:18:30 EST

This is now public, although unfortunately it looks like it has two CVEs fixed in one patch (CVE-2014-0065 for buffer overruns, CVE-2014-0066 for crypt())
