Descriptions

The (1) brin_page_type and (2) brin_metapage_info functions in the pageinspect extension in PostgreSQL before 9.5.x before 9.5.2 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and consequently obtain sensitive server memory information or cause a denial of service (server crash) via a crafted bytea value in a BRIN index page.

Las funciones (1) brin_page_type y (2) brin_metapage_info en la extensión pageinspect en PostgreSQL en versiones anteriores a 9.5.x en versiones anteriores a 9.5.2 permite a atacantes eludir las restricciones destinadas al acceso y consecuentemente obtener información sensible de la memoria del servidor o provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de servidor) a través de un valor bytea manipulado en una página índice BRIN.
