Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2002-0972 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Postgresql Postgresql. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0972/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0972/index.md)","id":"CVE-2002-0972","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0972/index.md","name":"CVE-2002-0972","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m4fw-hwf8-whx3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PostgreSQL database","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code via buffer overflows in PostgreSQL lpad and rpad functions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"postgresql","vendor":"postgresql"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Buffer overflows in PostgreSQL 7.2 allow attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the functions (1) lpad or (2) rpad.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0972","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"postgresql:postgresql","products":["postgresql:postgresql"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2002"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0973"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0971"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-08-23","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-04-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1903","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-04-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3279","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-06-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1399","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-01-08"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3065","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-04-11"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3280","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-06-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"PostgreSQL tsvector and tsquery undersize allocations, via integer wraparound","id":"CVE-2026-14662","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code via buffer overflows in PostgreSQL lpad and rpad functions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0972/"}
