Description

A vulnerability was found in postgresql versions 11.x prior to 11.3. The Windows installer for EnterpriseDB-supplied PostgreSQL does not lock down the ACL of the binary installation directory or the ACL of the data directory; it keeps the inherited ACL. In the default configuration, this allows a local attacker to read arbitrary data directory files, essentially bypassing database-imposed read access limitations. In plausible non-default configurations, an attacker having both an unprivileged Windows account and an unprivileged PostgreSQL account can cause the PostgreSQL service account to execute arbitrary code.

Affected configurations

• postgresql postgresql (< 9.4.22) • postgresql postgresql (>= 9.5.0 < 9.5.17) • postgresql postgresql (>= 9.6.0 < 9.6.13) • postgresql postgresql (>= 10.0 < 10.8) • postgresql postgresql (>= 11.0 < 11.3)
