Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in mod_auth_pgsql for Apache2, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. These flaws are due to format string errors in various logging functions (e.g. ap_log_rerror) that do not properly validate certain strings before being parsed, which could be exploited by unauthenticated remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable web server where mod_auth_pgsql is configured to perform user authentication against a PostgreSQL database.
