CVE-2022-2625

Published: 15 August 2022

A vulnerability was found in PostgreSQL. This attack requires permission to create non-temporary objects in at least one schema, the ability to lure or wait for an administrator to create or update an affected extension in that schema, and the ability to lure or wait for a victim to use the object targeted in CREATE OR REPLACE or CREATE IF NOT EXISTS. Given all three prerequisites, this flaw allows an attacker to run arbitrary code as the victim role, which may be a superuser.

Notes

PostgreSQL 9.3 is end of life upstream, and no updates are
are available. Marking as deferred in -esm-main releases.

PostgreSQL 9.5 is not being maintained by upstream anymore
(EOL), and without upstream support, there is a potential
risk of adding regressions as the fix touches command
permissions that might need other changes for a specific
version. So, for this version, we won't be fixing this CVE.
