description

Pgpool-II is affected by a NULL pointer dereference in its watchdog process. An unauthenticated remote attacker may cause the watchdog process to terminate; no attacker credentials are required.

mitigation

Apply a vendor or distribution security update for Pgpool-II when one is available. Until then, reduce exposure by limiting untrusted network access to Pgpool-II and monitoring the watchdog process for unexpected termination.
