CVE-2023-41119

Summary

CVE-2023-41119 is a vulnerability affecting EnterpriseDB Postgres Advanced Server versions before 11.21.32, 12.x before 12.16.20, 13.x before 13.12.16, 14.x before 14.9.0, and 15.x before 15.4.0. The issue lies within the function _dbms_aq_move_to_exception_queue, which can be exploited to elevate a user's privileges to superuser level. The function takes the Object Identifier (OID) of a table as an input, and then processes it as a superuser by executing SELECT and Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands. This vulnerability poses a significant risk, allowing unauthorized users to gain elevated access and potentially compromise the affected database system.
