Description:	Summary: PostgreSQL is prone to a security bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate the domain name in a signed CA certificate, allowing attackers to substitute malicious SSL certificates for trusted ones. PostgreSQL is also prone to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. Vulnerability Impact: Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to perform man-in-the- middle attacks or impersonate trusted servers, which will aid in further attacks. Exploiting the privilege escalation vulnerability allows local attackers to gain elevated privileges. Affected Software/OS: PostgreSQL versions prior to 8.4.2, 8.3.9, 8.2.15, 8.1.19, 8.0.23, and 7.4.27 are vulnerable to this issue. Solution: Updates are available. Please see the references for more information. CVSS Score: 6.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
