CVE-2005-1409
PostgreSQL 7.3.x through 8.0.x gives public EXECUTE access to certain character conversion functions, which allows unprivileged users to call those functions with malicious values, with unknown impact, aka the "Character conversion vulnerability."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.04%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
