PostgreSQL 9.2.x before 9.2.3, 9.1.x before 9.1.8, 9.0.x before 9.0.12, 8.4.x before 8.4.16, and...
CVE-2013-0255 is a medium vulnerability (CVSS 6.8) in Postgresql, published February 13, 2013. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 3.59%, the 89th percentile. Fixed in postgresql-8.4 8.4.16-0squeeze1.
PostgreSQL 9.2.x before 9.2.3, 9.1.x before 9.1.8, 9.0.x before 9.0.12, 8.4.x before 8.4.16, and 8.3.x before 8.3.23 does not properly declare the enum_recv function in backend/utils/adt/enum.c, which causes it to be invoked with incorrect arguments and allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (server crash) or read sensitive process memory via a crafted SQL command, which triggers an array index error and an out-of-bounds read.
