Description

Interaction error in the PostgreSQL JDBC driver before 8.2, when used with a PostgreSQL server with the “standard_conforming_strings” option enabled, such as the default configuration of PostgreSQL 9.1, does not properly escape unspecified JDBC statement parameters, which allows remote attackers to perform SQL injection attacks.
