CVE-2002-1401 is a medium vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) in Postgresql, published September 12, 2002. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 2.19%, the 82nd percentile. Fixed in postgresql 7.2.1-2woody2.
Buffer overflows in (1) circle_poly, (2) path_encode and (3) path_add (also incorrectly identified as path_addr) for PostgreSQL 7.2.3 and earlier allow attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code, possibly as a result of an integer overflow.
