Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2007:0064 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: postgresql security update 2007-02-07 18:24:28 UTC

Description Josh Bressers 2007-01-30 21:50:52 UTC 
An authenticated PostgreSQL user has the ability to crash the database server or
possibly read arbitrary memory for the server process.  This is caused by
insufficient type checking for SQL-language functions.
Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2007-01-30 22:04:21 UTC 
This flaw also affects RHEL3
Comment 2 Tom Lane 2007-02-04 22:26:28 UTC 
Note that in RHEL3, the relevant package is rh-postgresql ... we don't ship a plain "postgresql" package in 
that branch, for long-obsolete reasons.
Comment 4 Mark J. Cox 2007-02-05 11:32:23 UTC
