Descriptions

The libxslt support in contrib/xml2 in PostgreSQL 8.3 before 8.3.20, 8.4 before 8.4.13, 9.0 before 9.0.9, and 9.1 before 9.1.5 does not properly restrict access to files and URLs, which allows remote authenticated users to modify data, obtain sensitive information, or trigger outbound traffic to arbitrary external hosts by leveraging (1) stylesheet commands that are permitted by the libxslt security options or (2) an xslt_process feature, related to an XML External Entity (aka XXE) issue.

El soporte libxslt en contrib/xml2 en PostgreSQL v8.3 anteriores a v8.3.20, v8.4 anteriores a v8.4.13, v9.0 anteriores a v9.0.9, y v9.1 anteriores a v9.1.5 no restringe el acceso de forma adecuada a ficheros y URLs, lo que permite a atacantes remotos modificar datos y obtener información sensible, o provocar tráfico fuera de los límites a host externos mediante el aprovechamiento de (1)comandos de hoja de estilo que son permitirás por la opción de seguridad de libxslt o (2) la funcionalidad xslt_process, relacionada con la funcionalidad XML External Entity (también conocida como XXE).
