Due to simplistic quoting and confusion of database names with conninfo strings, roles with the CREATEDB or CREATEROLE option could escalate to superuser privileges when a superuser next ran certain maintenance commands. The new coding rule for PQconnectdbParams() calls, documented at conninfo_array_parse(), is to pass expand_dbname=true and wrap literal database names in a trivial connection string. Escape zero-length values in appendConnStrVal(). Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Nathan Bossart, Michael Paquier, and Noah Misch. Reviewed by Peter Eisentraut. Reported by Nathan Bossart. Security: CVE-2016-5424 |
