CVE-2024-7348: PostgreSQL

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL functions as the user running pg_dump, which is often a superuser. The attack involves replacing another relation type with a view or foreign table. The attack requires waiting for pg_dump to start, but winning the race condition is trivial if the attacker retains an open transaction. Versions before PostgreSQL 16.4, 15.8, 14.13, 13.16, and 12.20 are affected.

Affected products

• PostgreSQL PostgreSQL: from 12.0, before 12.20 (fixed in 12.20); from 13.0, before 13.16 (fixed in 13.16); from 14.0, before 14.13 (fixed in 14.13); from 15.0, before 15.8 (fixed in 15.8); from 16.0, before 16.4 (fixed in 16.4)
