   |       CVE Name       |                                                 |

   | Description | Input buffers were not properly escaped when providing   |
   |             | lookup data to the Postgres Realtime Engine. An attacker |
   |             | could potentially compromise the administrative database |
   |             | containing users' usernames and passwords used for SIP   |
   |             | authentication, among other things.                      |
   |             |                                                          |
   |             | This module is not active by default and must be         |
   |             | configured for use by the administrator. Default         |
   |             | installations of Asterisk are not affected.              |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Workaround | Convert your installation to use res_config_odbc with the |
   |            | PgsqlODBC driver. This module provides similar            |
   |            | functionality but is not vulnerable.                      |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   |    Resolution    | Upgrade to Asterisk release 1.4.15 or higher.       |
