Description Jan Lieskovsky 2009-10-16 08:41:53 UTC
Quoting Debian Security Advisory (DSA-1909-1) for postgresql-ocaml:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

It was discovered that postgresql-ocaml, OCaml bindings to PostgreSQL's libpq, was missing a function to call PQescapeStringConn(). This is needed, because PQescapeStringConn() honours the charset of the connection and prevents insufficient escaping, when certain multibyte character encodings are used. The added function is called escape_string_conn() and takes the established database connection as a first argument. The old escape_string() was kept for backwards compatibility.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-10-16 10:09:50 UTC
Upstream have released a new version containing this
fix (verified by inspecting the code and reading the
upstream ChangeLog).  So I'm going to upgrade all
our branches to this new upstream version.

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-10-16 10:35:34 UTC
Built for dist-f13, F12, F11 and F10.

Again I cannot attach the Bodhi updates to this
bug for some reason.  It says
  "Fault 411: 'Password Expired'"
although my password hasn't expired.

Comment 5 Jan Lieskovsky 2009-10-16 10:39:30 UTC
Changed my password today (not sure, if this might be related).
Anyway, approved the updates.

How / where did you get that?  Bodhi BZ user password may be expired.
