Descriptions

Invalid json_populate_recordset or jsonb_populate_recordset function calls in PostgreSQL 10.x before 10.1, 9.6.x before 9.6.6, 9.5.x before 9.5.10, 9.4.x before 9.4.15, and 9.3.x before 9.3.20 can crash the server or disclose a few bytes of server memory.

Las llamadas de función json_populate_recordset o jsonb_populate_recordset inválidas en PostgreSQL en versiones 10.x anteriores a la 10.1; versiones 9.6.x anteriores a la 9.6.6, versiones 9.5.x anteriores a la 9.5.10; versiones 9.4.x anteriores a la 9.4.15 y versiones 9.3.x anteriores a la 9.3.20 pueden provocar el cierre inesperado del servidor o divulgar unos pocos bytes de memoria del servidor.

David Rowley discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled memory when processing certain JSON functions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. Dean Rasheed discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly enforced SELECT privileges when processing INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE commands. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 17.04 and Ubuntu 17.10. Various other issues were also addressed.
