Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: postgresql-jdbc security update

Notes

Topic
An update for postgresql-jdbc is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system. The postgresql-jdbc package includes the .jar files needed for Java programs to access a PostgreSQL database. Security Fix(es): * pgjdbc: PostgreSQL JDBC Driver allows attacker to inject SQL if using PreferQueryMode=SIMPLE (CVE-2024-1597) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Users that do not override the query mode are not impacted.\n\nThe described SQL injection vulnerability, while significant, is categorized as important rather than critical due to several factors. Firstly, the exploitation relies on specific conditions, including the use of a non-default query mode (preferQueryMode=simple) and the precise arrangement of user-controlled parameters within the SQL query. This limits the potential attack surface and reduces the likelihood of widespread exploitation across systems. Additionally, the vulnerability does not pose an immediate and severe risk of system compromise or data breach; rather, it enables attackers to manipulate SQL queries and potentially execute arbitrary commands within the context of the application\u0027s database. Furthermore, the vulnerability can be effectively mitigated by applying the provided patch or by avoiding the use of the vulnerable query mode, thus reducing the risk of exploitation.\n\nRed Hat Satellite ships a PostgreSQL JDBC Driver which embeds into Candlepin. However, Candlepin doesn\u0027t directly utilize the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver and doesn\u0027t set PreferQueryMode. Therefore, although the affected component is shipped, the product impact is considered Low. This issue may be addressed in a future Satellite release.",
