Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the *printf function implementations in PostgreSQL before 9.0.19, 9.1.x before 9.1.15, 9.2.x before 9.2.10, 9.3.x before 9.3.6, and 9.4.x before 9.4.1, when running on a Windows system, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a floating point number with a large precision, as demonstrated by using the to_char function.

Un desbordamiento del búfer en la región stack de la memoria en las implementaciones de la función *printf en PostgreSQL versiones anteriores a 9.0.19, versiones 9.1.x anteriores a 9.1.15, versiones 9.2.x anteriores a 9.2.10, versiones 9.3.x anteriores a 9.3.6 y versiones 9.4.x anteriores a 9.4.1, cuando se ejecuta sobre un sistema Windows, permite a usuarios autenticados remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un número de punto flotante con una gran precisión, como es demostrado por el uso de la función to_char.
