CVE-2007-3280
|
| Summary |
The Database Link library (dblink) in PostgreSQL 8.1 implements functions via CREATE statements that map to arbitrary libraries based on the C programming language, which allows remote authenticated superusers to map and execute a function from any library, as demonstrated by using the system function in libc.so.6 to gain shell access. |

| contributor | Mark J Cox | | lastmodified | 2007-09-28 | | organization | Red Hat | | statement | Red Hat does not consider this do be a security issue. The ability of the superuser to execute code on behalf of the database server is an intended feature and imposes no security threat as the superuser account is restricted to the database administrator.
