CVE-2017-10804: Odoo: Authentication bypass

CVE-2017-10804 is rated critical with a CVSS v3.0 base score of 9.8 and affects Odoo. Per its scoring, it can be exploited over the network, without authentication, without any user interaction. The scored impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability is the highest available.

Vulnerability description

In Odoo 8.0, Odoo Community Edition 9.0 and 10.0, and Odoo Enterprise Edition 9.0 and 10.0, remote attackers can bypass authentication under certain circumstances because parameters containing 0x00 characters are truncated before reaching the database layer. This occurs because Psycopg 2.x before 2.6.3 is used.
