Type    : multiple issues
Remote  : Yes
Link    : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1956

Summary
======
The package postgresql before version 13.3-1 is vulnerable to multiple
issues including arbitrary code execution and information disclosure.

Resolution
=========
Upgrade to 13.3-1.

# pacman -Syu "postgresql>=13.3-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 13.3.

Workaround
=========
None.

Description
==========
- CVE-2021-32027 (arbitrary code execution)

A security issue was found in PostgreSQL before version 13.3. While
modifying certain SQL array values, missing bounds checks let
authenticated database users write arbitrary bytes to a wide area of
server memory.

- CVE-2021-32028 (information disclosure)

A security issue was found in PostgreSQL before version 13.3. Using an
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE command on a purpose-crafted
table, an attacker can read arbitrary bytes of server memory. In the
default configuration, any authenticated database user can create
prerequisite objects and complete this attack at will. A user lacking
the CREATE and TEMPORARY privileges on all databases and the CREATE
privilege on all schemas cannot use this attack at will.

- CVE-2021-32029 (information disclosure)

A security issue was found in PostgreSQL before version 13.3. Using an
UPDATE ... RETURNING on a purpose-crafted partitioned table, an
attacker can read arbitrary bytes of server memory. In the default
configuration, any authenticated database user can create prerequisite
objects and complete this attack at will. A user lacking the CREATE and
TEMPORARY privileges on all databases and the CREATE privilege on all
schemas typically cannot use this attack at will.

Impact
=====
An authenticated remote attacker could read the database server memory
or execute arbitrary code on the server.
