Overview

CVE-2024-10977 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on November 14, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1, rated LOW. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

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 or screen-scraper user of psql mistakes for valid query results. This is probably not a concern for clients where the user interface unambiguously indicates the boundary between one error message and other text. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 are affected.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
