The query planner in PostgreSQL before 8.0.11, 8.1 before 8.1.7, and 8.2 before 8.2.2 does not verify that a table is compatible with a "previously made query plan," which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (server crash) and possibly access database content via an "ALTER COLUMN TYPE" SQL statement, which can be leveraged to read arbitrary memory from the server.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-0556 affects old PostgreSQL releases. An authenticated database user could trigger a server crash and may be able to read database server memory, which can expose data beyond normal query results. The issue is relevant mainly to legacy PostgreSQL 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 deployments or vendor packages that include those code lines. Exposure is likely limited to legacy PostgreSQL installations: before 8.0.11, 8.1 before 8.1.7, and 8.2 before 8.2.2. Current supported PostgreSQL versions should not be assumed affected from this bundle. Distribution backports require vendor advisory verification. Treat this as a legacy-risk cleanup item with high impact where affected systems exist. It is not KEV-listed, but the potential for database crash and memory disclosure justifies prompt remediation on any reachable legacy PostgreSQL server. Mitigation focus: Upgrade PostgreSQL to at least 8.0.11, 8.1.7, or 8.2.2 as applicable.; Prefer migration to a currently supported PostgreSQL release.; Apply fixed vendor packages from Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, rPath, or your distribution..
