Now it's PostgreSQL's turn to have a bogus CVE
Recently, the popular open-source command line copy tool, cURL for transferring data via URLs, was given a jaw-dropping 9.8 Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) critical security violation mark. There was only one little problem with this National Vulnerability Database (NVD) CVE-2020-19909 report: It was bogus. There's nothing wrong with cURL. Now, the same kind of crap security report has shown up for the open-source SQL database, PostgreSQL.
This time, according to the PostgreSQL Security Team reports, just like with cURL, whoever the unknown reporter was didn't bother to tell them that was a security problem. Had they done so, the security team would have told them the same thing they told the NVD crew: There was no problem.
