CVE-2002-1400

CVE-2002-1400 describes a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the repeat() function of PostgreSQL versions prior to 7.2.2. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by crafting a request that causes repeat() to generate an excessively large string. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered high severity due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
