to_timestamp() handles the TH/th format codes by advancing over two input characters, whatever those are. It failed to notice whether there were two characters available to be skipped, making it possible to advance the pointer past the end of the input string and keep on parsing. A similar risk existed in the handling of "Y,YYY" format: it would advance over three characters after the "," whether or not three characters were available. In principle this might be exploitable to disclose contents of server memory. But the security team concluded that it would be very hard to use that way, because the parsing loop would stop upon hitting any zero byte, and TH/th format codes can't be consecutive --- they have to follow some other format code, which would have to match whatever data is there. So it seems impractical to examine memory very much beyond the end of the input string via this bug; and the input string will always be in local memory not in disk buffers, making it unlikely that anything very interesting is close to it in a predictable way. So this doesn't quite rise to the level of needing a CVE. Thanks to Wolf Roediger for reporting this bug. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
