Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|

19 |
of Service or unauthorized access to certain information. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |

25 |
system. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
PostgreSQL does not correctly check the data types of the SQL function |
41 |
arguments under unspecified circumstances nor the format of the |
42 |
provided tables in the query planner. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote authenticated attacker could send specially crafted queries to |
48 |
the server that could result in a server crash and possibly the |
49 |
unauthorized reading of some database content or arbitrary memory. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "dev-db/postgresql" |
63 |
