DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in PostgreSQL, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"gettoken()" function in contrib/intarray/_int_bool.c of the
"intarray" module, which can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow by e.g. calling certain functions offered by the
module with specially crafted parameters.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires use of the "intarray" module.

The vulnerability is reported in all versions prior to versions
8.2.20, 8.3.14, 8.4.7, and 9.0.3.

SOLUTION:
Update to versions 8.2.20, 8.3.14, 8.4.7, and 9.0.3.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits the security team of Apple.
