CVE-2011-2483
EPSS 7.1%postgresql - weak password hashing
Published: 8/25/2011Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
crypt_blowfish before 1.1, as used in PHP before 5.3.7 on certain platforms, PostgreSQL before 8.4.9, and other products, does not properly handle 8-bit characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine a cleartext password by leveraging knowledge of a password hash.
