Title:	PostgreSQL NULL Character CA SSL Certificate Validation Security Bypass Vulnerability
Summary:	Determine if PostgreSQL is prone to a security-bypass and to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability
Description:	Overview: 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. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to perform man-in-the- middle attacks or impersonate trusted servers, which will aid in further attacks. PostgreSQL is also prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. Exploiting this issue allows local attackers to gain elevated privileges. 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.
