Software Description: - postgresql-14: Object-relational SQL database - postgresql-13: Object-relational SQL database - postgresql-12: Object-relational SQL database - postgresql-10: Object-relational SQL database Details: Alexander Lakhin discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled the security restricted operation sandbox when a privileged user is maintaining another user's objects. An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects can use this issue to execute arbitrary commands as the superuser.
