NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-postgresql94-postgresql-devel package and not the rh-postgresql94-postgresql-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In PostgreSQL 9.3.x before 9.3.17, 9.4.x before 9.4.12, 9.5.x before 9.5.7, and 9.6.x before 9.6.3, it was found that the PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was no longer enforcing a SSL/TLS connection to a PostgreSQL server. An active Man-in-the-Middle attacker could use this flaw to strip the SSL/TLS protection from a connection between a client and a server.
