1 day agoAI finds 20-year-old bugs in PostgreSQL and MariaDB
Users must upgrade to fixed versions of PostgreSQL and MariaDB due to critical vulnerabilities, including a severe buffer overflow flaw in pgcrypto.
Ever since version 10.3, MariaDB has been steadily adding Oracle compatibility features, making it easier to port Oracle to MariaDB as-is. Oracle compatibility is opt-in. All you need to do is issue the command SET SQL_MODE='ORACLE' to activate it for a given set of SQL statements. Existing MariaDB behaviors will also be preserved wherever possible.
MariaDB has been configured for secure access, with anonymous users removed, root remote login disabled, and the default test database eliminated.
