{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2019-10164","details":"PostgreSQL versions 10.x before 10.9 and versions 11.x before 11.4 are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. Any authenticated user can overflow a stack-based buffer by changing the user's own password to a purpose-crafted value. This often suffices to execute arbitrary code as the PostgreSQL operating system account.","modified":"2026-04-22T12:06:04.042044Z","published":"2019-06-20T00:00:00Z","related":["USN-4027-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2019-10164"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-10164"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1949/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4027-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-10164"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"postgresql-10","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/postgresql-10@10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"}]}],"versions":["10.1-1","10.1-2","10.2-1","10.3-1","10.4-0ubuntu0.18.04","10.5-0ubuntu0.18.04","10.6-0ubuntu0.18.04.1","10.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.1","10.8-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"libecpg-compat3","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"libecpg6","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"libpgtypes3","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"libpq5","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"postgresql-10","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"postgresql-client-10","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"postgresql-doc-10","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"postgresql-plperl-10","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"postgresql-plpython-10","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"postgresql-plpython3-10","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1","binary_name":"postgresql-pltcl-10"},{"binary_name":"postgresql-server-dev-10","binary_version":"10.9-0ubuntu0.18.04.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-10164.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
