Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL, where some PostgreSQL extensions did not use the search_path safely in their installation script. This flaw allows an attacker with sufficient privileges to trick an administrator into executing a specially crafted script during the extension's installation or update. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2020-08-04 03:51:47 UTC 
When a superuser issues certain CREATE EXTENSION statements, users may be able to execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity of that superuser.  The attacker must have permission to create objects in the new extension's schema or a schema of a prerequisite extension.  Not all extensions are vulnerable. In addition to correcting the extensions provided with PostgreSQL, the project is issuing guidance for third-party extension authors to secure their own work.

Comment 10 Hardik Vyas 2020-09-08 08:08:11 UTC 
Statement:

In Red Hat Gluster Storage 3, PostgreSQL was shipped as a part of Red Hat Gluster Storage Console that is no longer supported for use with Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5. Red Hat Gluster Storage Web Administration is now the recommended monitoring tool for Red Hat Storage Gluster clusters.
