This function was misdeclared to take cstring when it should take internal. This at least allows crashing the server, and in principle an attacker might be able to use the function to examine the contents of server memory. The correct fix is to adjust the system catalog contents (and fix the regression tests that should have caught this but failed to). However, asking users to correct the catalog contents in existing installations is a pain, so as a band-aid fix for the back branches, install a check in enum_recv() to make it throw error if called with a cstring argument. We will later revert this in HEAD in favor of correcting the catalogs. Our thanks to Sumit Soni (via Secunia SVCRP) for reporting this issue. Security: CVE-2013-0255 |
