CVE-2002-1401 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Buffer overflows in (1) circle_poly, (2) path_encode and (3) path_add (also incorrectly identified as path_addr) for PostgreSQL 7.2.3 and earlier allow attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code, possibly as a result of an integer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 2.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
