PgpoolAdmin 4.0.1 officially released.

Pgpool-II is a tool to add useful features to PostgreSQL, including
connection pooling, load balancing, automatic fail over and more.

PgPool Global Development Group has released a Security Update of pgpoolAdmin.

The purpose of this release is to address CVE-2018-16203, which
allow an attacker to login without properly checking the authorization.
Once getting into pgpoolAdmin, the attacker can control Pgpool-II.
Also it may be possible to obtain the superuser role of a PostgreSQL database.

This vulnability affects all versions of pgpoolAdmin. We recommend
upgrade pgpoolAdmin to 4.0.1 immediately (remember that pgpoolAdmin
4.0.1 is compatible with Pgpool-II 3.4 or later).

PgPool Global Development Group would like to thank Fotios Rogkotis
of DarkMatter for finding the security issue and giving us the
detailed studies on it.
