Security Advisory - Two Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities in the GaussDB
- SA No:huawei-sa-20170531-05-gaussdb
- Initial Release Date: 2017-05-31
- Last Release Date: 2017-05-31
There is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the validator functions of the GaussDB. An attacker may log in to the system as a low-privilege user and execute the high-privilege functions. Then, the attacker may obtain the high-privilege of the GaussDB and crash the system. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-05015)
This vulnerability has been assigned a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID: CVE-2014-0061.
There is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the GaussDB. An attacker may log in to the system as a low-privilege user. When the high-privilege user executes specific operation, the attacker could modify the high-privilege user's tables and crash the system. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-05171)
This vulnerability has been assigned a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID: CVE-2014-0062.
