Make the server reject extraneous data after an SSL or GSS
encryption handshake (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
A man-in-the-middle with the ability to inject data into the TCP
connection could stuff some cleartext data into the start of a
supposedly encryption-protected database session.
This could be abused to send faked SQL commands to the server,
although that would only work if the server did not demand any
authentication data. (However, a server relying on SSL certificate
authentication might well not do so.)

Make <application>libpq</application> reject extraneous data after
an SSL or GSS encryption handshake (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
A man-in-the-middle with the ability to inject data into the TCP
connection could stuff some cleartext data into the start of a
supposedly encryption-protected database session.
This could probably be abused to inject faked responses to the
client's first few queries, although other details of libpq's
behavior make that harder than it sounds. A different line of
attack is to exfiltrate the client's password, or other sensitive
data that might be sent early in the session. That has been shown
to be possible with a server vulnerable to CVE-2021-23214.
