Description of problem: Some of the security issues mentioned in bug#147442 also apply to the AS2.1 branch: specifically the LOAD issue CAN-2005-0227 and some aspects of the plpgsql buffer overruns CAN-2005-0245, CAN-2005-0247. Also, I noted that CAN-2004-0977 (bug#136301) and the low-priority security issues mentioned in bug#136947 were never back-ported to the AS2.1 branch. In addition, while the Postgres community stopped maintaining PG 7.1 years ago, they have continued to back-port significant bug fixes (data-loss and server-crash issues) into the PG 7.2 branch, and most of these issues also apply to PG 7.1. It's past time we updated AS2.1 with these fixes. Our bug#130818 describes the most significant of these issues but there are numerous minor ones. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postgresql-7.1.3-5.rhel2.1AS How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. See referenced bugzilla entries 2. 3.
