CVE-2005-0245 describes a heap-based buffer overflow in PostgreSQL versions 8.0.0 and earlier, specifically within the gram.y file. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying a large number of arguments to a refcursor function. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
