Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.108614
Category:Databases
Title:PostgreSQL 9.4.x < 9.4.22, 9.5.x < 9.5.17, 9.6.x < 9.6.13, 10.x < 10.8, 11.x < 11.3 Code Execution Vulnerability - Windows
Summary:PostgreSQL is prone to an arbitrary code execution vulnerability due to; BigSQL and EnterpriseDB Windows installer not clearing permissive ACL entries.
Description:Summary:
PostgreSQL is prone to an arbitrary code execution vulnerability due to
BigSQL and EnterpriseDB Windows installer not clearing permissive ACL entries.

Vulnerability Insight:
Due to both the EnterpriseDB and BigSQL Windows installers not locking down
the permissions of the PostgreSQL binary installation directory and the data directory, an unprivileged Windows
user account and an unprivileged PostgreSQL account could cause the PostgreSQL service account to execute arbitrary code.

This vulnerability is present in all supported versions of PostgreSQL for these installers, and possibly exists
in older versions. Both sets of installers have fixed the permissions for these directories for both new and existing
installations. If you have installed PostgreSQL on Windows using other methods, we advise that you check that your
PostgreSQL binary directories are writable only to trusted users and that your data directories are only accessible
to trusted users.

Affected Software/OS:
PostgreSQL versions 9.4.x, 9.5.x, 9.6.x, 10.x and 11.x installed on Windows via
BigSQL or EnterpriseDB installer.

Solution:
Update to version 9.4.22, 9.5.17, 9.6.13, 10.8, 11.3 or later.
