Weaknesses
CWE-297

Description

A weakness was found in postgresql-jdbc before version 42.2.5. It was possible to provide an SSL Factory and not check the host name if a host name verifier was not provided to the driver. This could lead to a condition where a man-in-the-middle attacker could masquerade as a trusted server by providing a certificate for the wrong host, as long as it was signed by a trusted CA.

Affected configurations

• postgresql postgresql jdbc driver (< 42.2.5) • redhat enterprise linux 6.0 • redhat enterprise linux 7.0
