Doc Text:
An authorization flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL handled access to the pg_user_mappings view on foreign servers. A remote, authenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to retrieve passwords from the user mappings defined by the foreign server owners without actually having the privileges to do so.

Description Adam Mariš 2017-08-01 08:29:56 EDT 
The pg_user_mappings view long required privileges on a given foreign server in order to see "options", notably passwords, associated with user mappings of that server. The fix for CVE-2017-7486 removed that requirement. This allows each user to retrieve passwords from user mappings that foreign server owners defined for the user in question, even if that owner granted no actual privileges. The user in question might retrieve the password and use it to connect via another mechanism.

Supported vulnerable versions: 9.2 - 9.6

Users affected by CVE-2017-7547 will need to perform additional steps after upgrading to resolve the issue. See https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1772/ for more information on this.
