Description

This strike replicates a stack-based buffer overflow attack on a PostgreSQL database server. The flaw is a consequence of no string size checking when base64-decoding a stored hashed password. Successful exploitation by a remote authenticated attacker may result in arbitrary code execution or crashing the server.
