CVE-2018-10936
A weakness was found in postgresql-jdbc before version 42.2.5.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.91%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
A weakness was found in postgresql-jdbc before version 42.2.5. It was possible to provide an SSL Factory and not check the host name if a host name verifier was not provided to the driver. This could lead to a condition where a man-in-the-middle attacker could masquerade as a trusted server by providing a certificate for the wrong host, as long as it was signed by a trusted CA.
