Modified
This vulnerability has been modified since it was last analyzed by the NVD. It is awaiting reanalysis which may result in further changes to the information provided. Current DescriptionPostgreSQL before 8.3.7, 8.2.13, 8.1.17, 8.0.21, and 7.4.25 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) by triggering a failure in the conversion of a localized error message to a client-specified encoding, as demonstrated using mismatched encoding conversion requests. Evaluator DescriptionPer: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488156 "PostgreSQL allows remote authenticated users to cause a momentary denial of service (crash due to stack consumption) when there is a failure to convert a localized error message to the client-specified encoding. In releases 8.3.6, 8.2.12, 8.1.16. 8.0.20, and 7.4.24, a trivial misconfiguration is sufficient to provoke a crash. In older releases it is necessary to select a locale and client encoding for which specific messages fail to translate, and so a given installation may or may not be vulnerable depending on the administrator-determined locale setting. Releases 8.3.7, 8.2.13, 8.1.17, 8.0.21, and 7.4.25 are secure against all known variants of this issue." Severity
