UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact
UNKNOWN Availability impact
UNKNOWN Summary
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in json parsing in PostgreSQL before 9.3.x before 9.3.10 and 9.4.x before 9.4.5 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via unspecified vectors, which are not properly handled in (1) json or (2) jsonb values.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system (DBMS). A memory leak error was discovered in the crypt() function of the pgCrypto extension. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this flaw to disclose a limited amount of the server memory.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to an unspecified flaw in the crypt() function. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a memory leak, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-5288) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied JSON input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted JSON input, to cause the server to crash. (CVE-2015-5289) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a flaw that is triggered when a function is executed in an outer-subtransaction cursor. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. - Multiple stack overflow conditions exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling input to record types, range types, json, jsonb, tsquery, ltxtquery and query_int. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition and potentially remote code execution. - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to world-readable permissions granted to temporary files that are created during a pg_dump with tar-format output. A local attacker can exploit this disclose sensitive information. - An overflow condition exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling SIMILAR TO and LIKE matching regular expressions. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a stack overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 86422 published 2015-10-16 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/86422 title PostgreSQL 9.0.x < 9.0.23 / 9.1.x < 9.1.19 / 9.2.x < 9.2.14 / 9.3.x < 9.3.10 / 9.4.x < 9.4.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SU-2016-0482-1.NASL description This update of postgresql94 to 9.4.5 fixes the following issues : - CVE-2015-5289: json or jsonb input values constructed from arbitrary user input could have crashed the PostgreSQL server and caused a denial of service (bsc#949670) - CVE-2015-5288: crypt() (pgCrypto extension) couldi potentially be exploited to read a few additional bytes of memory (bsc#949669) Also contains all changes and bugfixes in the upstream 9.4.5 release: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-4-5.html Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.
