Client use of server error message in PostgreSQL allows a server not trusted under current SSL or GSS settings to furnish arbitrary non-NUL bytes to the libpq application. For example, a man-in-the-middle attacker could send a long error message that a human or screen-scraper user of psql mistakes for valid query results. This is probably not a concern for clients where the user interface unambiguously indicates the boundary between one error message and other text. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 are affected.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:4095-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2024-10976: Ensure cached plans are marked as dependent on the calling role when RLS applies to a     non-top-level table reference (bsc#1233323).
    - CVE-2024-10977: Make libpq discard error messages received during SSL or GSS protocol negotiation     (bsc#1233325).
    - CVE-2024-10978: Fix unintended interactions between SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION and SET ROLE     (bsc#1233326).

    This update ships postgresql17 , and fixes security issues with postgresql16:

    - bsc#1230423: Relax the dependency of extensions on the server       version from exact major.minor to greater or equal, after Tom       Lane confirmed on the PostgreSQL packagers list that ABI       stability is being taken care of between minor releases.

    - bsc#1219340: The last fix was not correct. Improve it by removing       the dependency again and call fillup only if it is installed.

    postgresql16 was updated to 16.6:
    * Repair ABI break for extensions that work with struct       ResultRelInfo.
    * Restore functionality of ALTER {ROLE|DATABASE} SET role.
    * Fix cases where a logical replication slot's restart_lsn could       go backwards.
    * Avoid deleting still-needed WAL files during pg_rewind.
    * Fix race conditions associated with dropping shared statistics       entries.
    * Count index scans in contrib/bloom indexes in the statistics       views, such as the pg_stat_user_indexes.idx_scan counter.
    * Fix crash when checking to see if an index's opclass options       have changed.
    * Avoid assertion failure caused by disconnected NFA sub-graphs       in regular expression parsing.

    * Various query performance improvements, including for       sequential reads using streaming I/O, write throughput under       high concurrency, and searches over multiple values in a btree       index.
    * Logical replication enhancements, including:
      + Failover control       + pg_createsubscriber, a utility that creates logical replicas         from physical standbys       + pg_upgrade now preserves replication slots on both publishers         and subscribers
    * New client-side connection option, sslnegotiation=direct, that       performs a direct TLS handshake to avoid a round-trip       negotiation.
    * pg_basebackup now supports incremental backup.
    * COPY adds a new option, ON_ERROR ignore, that allows a copy       operation to continue in the event of an error.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-786 advisory.

    Incomplete tracking in PostgreSQL of tables with row security allows a reused query to view or change     different rows from those intended.  CVE-2023-2455 and CVE-2016-2193 fixed most interaction between row     security and user ID changes.  They missed cases where a subquery, WITH query, security invoker view, or     SQL-language function references a table with a row-level security policy.  This has the same consequences     as the two earlier CVEs.  That is to say, it leads to potentially incorrect policies being applied in     cases where role-specific policies are used and a given query is planned under one role and then executed     under other roles.  This scenario can happen under security definer functions or when a common user and     query is planned initially and then re-used across multiple SET ROLEs.  Applying an incorrect policy may     permit a user to complete otherwise-forbidden reads and modifications.  This affects only databases that     have used CREATE POLICY to define a row security policy.  An attacker must tailor an attack to a     particular application's pattern of query plan reuse, user ID changes, and role-specific row security     policies.  Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 are affected.
    (CVE-2024-10976)

    Client use of server error message in PostgreSQL allows a server not trusted under current SSL or GSS     settings to furnish arbitrary non-NUL bytes to the libpq application. For example, a man-in-the-middle     attacker could send a long error message that a human or screen-scraper user of psql mistakes for valid     query results. This is probably not a concern for clients where the user interface unambiguously indicates     the boundary between one error message and other text. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14,     13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10977)

    Incorrect privilege assignment in PostgreSQL allows a less-privileged application user to view or change     different rows from those intended.  An attack requires the application to use SET ROLE, SET SESSION     AUTHORIZATION, or an equivalent feature.  The problem arises when an application query uses parameters     from the attacker or conveys query results to the attacker.  If that query reacts to     current_setting('role') or the current user ID, it may modify or return data as though the session had not     used SET ROLE or SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION.  The attacker does not control which incorrect user ID     applies.  Query text from less-privileged sources is not a concern here, because SET ROLE and SET SESSION     AUTHORIZATION are not sandboxes for unvetted queries.  Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14,     13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10978)

    Incorrect control of environment variables in PostgreSQL PL/Perl allows an unprivileged database user to     change sensitive process environment variables (e.g. PATH).  That often suffices to enable arbitrary code     execution, even if the attacker lacks a database server operating system user.  Versions before PostgreSQL     17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10979)

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7132-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly tracked tables with row security. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to perform forbidden reads and modifications. (CVE-2024-10976)

    Jacob Champion discovered that PostgreSQL clients used untrusted server error messages. An attacker that     is able to intercept network communications could possibly use this issue to inject error messages that     could be interpreted as valid query results. (CVE-2024-10977)

    Tom Lane discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled certain privilege assignments. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to view or change different rows from those intended. (CVE-2024-10978)

    Coby Abrams discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled environment variables. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-10979)
