Summary

The to_char function in PostgreSQL prior to version 9.0.19 and various other versions allows remote authenticated users to exploit improperly handled input. This can result in a denial of service condition due to crashes triggered by excessively large numeric formatting inputs or specially crafted timestamp templates, potentially leading to remote code execution through buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

Affected Version(s)

PostgreSQL before 9.0.19

PostgreSQL 9.1.x before 9.1.15

PostgreSQL 9.2.x before 9.2.10
