NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql:15/pg_repack package and not the postgresql:15/pg_repack package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Untrusted data inclusion in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows a malicious superuser of the origin server to inject arbitrary code for restore-time execution as the client operating system account running psql to restore the dump, via psql meta-commands. pg_dumpall is also affected. pg_restore is affected when used to generate a plain-format dump. This is similar to MySQL CVE-2024-21096. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.6, 16.10, 15.14, 14.19, and 13.22 are affected.
