|
|
An error involving insecure search_path settings in the SECURITY
|
|
DEFINER functions has been reported in PostgreSQL.
|

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
If allowed to call a SECURITY DEFINER function, an attacker could gain
|
|
the SQL privileges of the owner of the called function.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version and fix their
|
|
SECURITY DEFINER functions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "dev-db/postgresql"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In order to fix the SECURITY DEFINER functions, PostgreSQL users are
|
|
advised to refer to the PostgreSQL documentation: <uri link="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.77">http://www.postgresql
|
|
.org/docs/techdocs.77</uri>
