Description Josh Bressers 2007-01-30 16:50:52 EST

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 17:04:21 EST

This flaw also affects RHEL3

Comment 2 Tom Lane 2007-02-04 17:26:28 EST

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 06:32:23 EST

removing embargo; public at http://www.postgresql.org/support/security.html
