+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #212358 +++ Description of problem: The three crash conditions are not considered critical vulnerabilities, because all three require authenticated access to the database with the ability to run ad-hoc queries, and none can be exploited for privilege escalation. 1.) Disallow aggregate functions in UPDATE commands, except within sub-SELECTs (Tom) (The behavior of such an aggregate was unpredictable, and in 8.1.X could cause a crash, so it has been disabled. The SQL standard does not allow this either.) 2.) Fix core dump when an untyped literal is taken as ANYARRAY 3.) Fix core dump in duration logging for extended query protocol when a COMMIT or ROLLBACK is executed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.) >=7.4.1, Affects RHEL 4.1, FC5, FC6 2.) >=8.1, Affects FC5, FC6 3.) >=8.1, Affects FC5, FC6 Additional info: Here are commit messages with diffs: 1.) http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-10/msg00205.php 2.) http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-08/msg00277.php 3.) http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-06/msg00299.php
