  <background>
    <p>PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management
      system.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL. Please
      review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
    </p>
    
    <p>In addition it was discovered that Gentoo’s PostgreSQL installation
      suffered from a privilege escalation vulnerability due to a runscript
      which called OpenRC’s checkpath() on a user controlled path and allowed
      user running PostgreSQL to kill arbitrary processes via PID file
      manipulation.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>A remote attacker could bypass certain client-side connection security
      features, read arbitrary server memory or alter certain data.
    </p>
    
    <p>In addition, a local attacker could gain privileges or cause a Denial of
      Service condition by  killing arbitrary processes.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All PostgreSQL users up to 9.3 should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/postgresql-9.3.24:9.3"
    </code>
    
    <p>All PostgreSQL 9.4 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/postgresql-9.4.19:9.4"
    </code>
    
    <p>All PostgreSQL 9.5 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/postgresql-9.5.14:9.5"
    </code>
    
    <p>All PostgreSQL 9.6 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/postgresql-9.6.10:9.6"
    </code>
    
    <p>All PostgreSQL 10 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/postgresql-10.5:10"
