HIGH

PostGIS 2.0.0-2.3.2 - Denial of Service via ST_AsX3D Function

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

PostGIS 2.x before 2.3.3, as used with PostgreSQL, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted ST_AsX3D function input, as demonstrated by an abnormal server termination for "SELECT ST_AsX3D('LINESTRING EMPTY');" because empty geometries are mishandled.
