CVE-2022-41946

A flaw was found in org.postgresql. This issue allows the creation of a temporary file when using PreparedStatement.setText(int, InputStream) and PreparedStatemet.setBytea(int, InputStream). This could allow a user to create an unexpected file available to all users, which could end in unexpected behavior.

Red Hat Satellite ships a PostgreSQL JDBC Driver for Hibernate ORM framework, which is embeds into Candlepin. Although Candlepin itself doesn't make direct use of the PreparedStatement methods from the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver, Hibernate ORM does utilize these methods, potentially making framework affected. Satellite server operating in an environment with untrusted users while the driver is running are vulnerable to the flaw, however, deployments without untrusted users are considered safe. A future Satellite update should address this issue.
