MGASA-2024-0301 - Updated postgresql15 & postgresql13 packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 16 Sep 2024
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2024-0301.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 9
CVE: CVE-2024-7348

Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in pg_dump in
PostgreSQL allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL functions
as the user running pg_dump, which is often a superuser. The attack
involves replacing another relation type with a view or foreign table.
The attack requires waiting for pg_dump to start, but winning the race
condition is trivial if the attacker retains an open transaction.
(CVE-2024-7348)
