CVE-2013-1901

Publication date 4 April 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

PostgreSQL 9.2.x before 9.2.4 and 9.1.x before 9.1.9 does not properly check REPLICATION privileges, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended backup restrictions by calling the (1) pg_start_backup or (2) pg_stop_backup functions.
