This fixes some vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. 1) A boundary error exists within the "pg_db_putline()" function in dbdimp.c. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow if malicious rows are retrieved from the database using the "pg_getline()" or "getline()" function. 2) A memory leak exists within the function "dequote_bytea()" in quote.c, which can be exploited to cause a memory exhaustion. SOLUTION: Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network. http://rhn.redhat.com ORIGINAL ADVISORY: RHSA-2009-0479: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0479.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About: This Advisory was delivered by Secunia as a free service to help everybody keeping their systems up to date against the latest vulnerabilities.
