It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-14798 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-2017-14798/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14798/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-14798","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14798/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-14798","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-934j-74pq-c42g","SUSE-SU-2017:3107-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:11183-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SUSE PostgreSQL init","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the SUSE PostgreSQL init script allows local attackers with postgresql account access to escalate privileges to root.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"postgresql","vendor":"postgresql"},{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_server","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"},{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"}],"description":"A race condition in the postgresql init script could be used by attackers able to access the postgresql account to escalate their privileges to root.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 11 SP4"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-08-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-08-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"45184","stars":null,"title":"PostgreSQL 9.4-0.5.3 - Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"local privilege escalation in SUSE postgresql init script","id":"CVE-2017-14798","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"postgresql:postgresql","products":["postgresql:postgresql","suse:suse_linux_enterprise_server"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2017"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"XSS Vulnerability with ESP URL","id":"CVE-2017-14799"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4","fixed":["9.4-0.5.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"postgresql-init","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/postgresql-init\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2011%20SP4","source":"SUSE-SU-2017:3107-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 11 SP4","fixed":["9.4-0.5.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"postgresql-init","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/postgresql-init\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20Applications%2011%20SP4","source":"SUSE-SU-2017:3107-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-14797"},"products":["postgresql-init"],"published":"2018-03-01","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":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["suse"]},"summary":"A race condition in the SUSE PostgreSQL init script allows local attackers with postgresql account access to escalate privileges to root.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14798/"}
