Description Murray McAllister 2014-02-14 02:23:43 EST

It was found that the buffers used to hold datetime output were too small. Long output could lead to a stack-based buffer overflow, possibly allowing an authenticated database user to crash the PostgreSQL server or execute arbitrary code.

Red Hat would like to thank the PostgreSQL project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Noah Misch as the original reporter.
