Summary
It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly tracked tables with row
security. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform
forbidden reads and modifications. (CVE-2024-10976)
Jacob Champion discovered that PostgreSQL clients used untrusted server
error messages. An attacker that is able to intercept network
communications could possibly use this issue to inject error messages that
could be interpreted as valid query results. (CVE-2024-10977)
Tom Lane discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled certain privilege
assignments. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to view or
change different rows from those intended. (CVE-2024-10978)
Coby Abrams discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled environment
variables. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-10979)

High 8.8
PostgreSQL PL/Perl environment variable changes execute arbitrary code
Incorrect control of environment variables in PostgreSQL PL/Perl allows an unprivileged database user to change sensitive process environment variables (e.g. PATH). That often suffices to enable arbitrary code execution, even if the attacker lacks a database …

PostgreSQL row security below e.g. subqueries disregards user ID changes
Incomplete tracking in PostgreSQL of tables with row security allows a reused query to view or change different rows from those intended. CVE-2023-2455 and CVE-2016-2193 fixed most interaction between row security and user ID changes. They missed cases where …

Medium 4.2
PostgreSQL SET ROLE, SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION reset to wrong user ID
Incorrect privilege assignment in PostgreSQL allows a less-privileged application user to view or change different rows from those intended. An attack requires the application to use SET ROLE, SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION, or an equivalent feature. The problem a…

PostgreSQL libpq retains an error message from man-in-the-middle
Client use of server error message in PostgreSQL allows a server not trusted under current SSL or GSS settings to furnish arbitrary non-NUL bytes to the libpq application. For example, a man-in-the-middle attacker could send a long error message that a human …
