CVE-2005-0247 is a medium vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) in Postgresql, published February 8, 2005. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 3.51%, the 89th percentile. Fixed in postgresql 7.2.1-2woody8.
Multiple buffer overflows in gram.y for PostgreSQL 8.0.1 and earlier may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a large number of variables in a SQL statement being handled by the read_sql_construct function, (2) a large number of INTO variables in a SELECT statement being handled by the make_select_stmt function, (3) a large number of arbitrary variables in a SELECT statement being handled by the make_select_stmt function, and (4) a large number of INTO variables in a FETCH statement being handled by the make_fetch_stmt function, a different set of vulnerabilities than CVE-2005-0245.
