Description msiddiqu 2019-07-30 14:42:46 UTC
In a database containing hypothetical, user-defined hash equality operators,
an attacker could read arbitrary bytes of server memory.  For an attack to
become possible, a superuser would need to create unusual operators.  It is
possible for operators not purpose-crafted for attack to have the properties
that enable an attack, but we are not aware of specific examples.

The following products only contain the JBDC postgresql driver, not the server and are not affected:
* Red Hat Decision Manager
* Red Hat Process Automation Manager

Hello,

May I know if Linux PostgreSQL 7.1beta6 version is also affected and requires this fix? Any heads up will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

This vulnerability was introduced with commit bf6c614a2, and thus affects only PostgreSQL version 11. Older versions are safe from that vulnerability.

Thanks a lot Cedric for clarification.

Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 ships JDBC part of postgresql embedded in rhevm-dependencies, hence not affected.
