Descriptions

Argument injection vulnerability in PostgreSQL 9.2.x before 9.2.4, 9.1.x before 9.1.9, and 9.0.x before 9.0.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file corruption), and allows remote authenticated users to modify configuration settings and execute arbitrary code, via a connection request using a database name that begins with a "-" (hyphen).

Vulnerabilidad de inyección de argumentos en PostgreSQL 9.2.x anterior a 9.2.4, 9.1.x anterior a 9.1.9, y 9.0.x anterior a 9.0.13, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de archivos) y permite a usuarios autenticados remotamente modificar los parámetros de configuración y ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una petición de conexión utilizando un nombre de base de datos que comienza con el carácter "-".

Unisphere Central versions prior to 4.0 suffer from a large amount of security vulnerabilities and an update has been released that includes a fix for an unvalidated redirect issue along with various embedded component vulnerabilities.
