Package : libpgjava Version : 42.2.5-2+deb10u2 CVE ID : CVE-2022-31197 Debian Bug : #1016662

It was discovered that there was a potential SQL injection vulnerability in libpgjava, a Java library for connecting to PostgreSQL databases.

A malicious user could have crafted a schema that caused an application to execute commands as a privileged user due to the lack of escaping of column names in some operations.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 42.2.5-2+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpgjava packages.

For the detailed security status of libpgjava please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libpgjava

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

Solution

Upgrade the libpostgresql-jdbc-java packages.
