PostgreSQL: Buffer overflows in PL/PgSQL parser

PostgreSQL: Buffer overflows in PL/PgSQL parser PostgreSQL is vulnerable to several buffer overflows in the PL/PgSQL parser leading to execution of arbitrary code. postgresql 2005-02-14 2007-06-26: 04 81350 remote 7.3* 7.4* 8.0.1-r1 7.3.9-r1 7.4.13 8.0.1-r1

PostgreSQL is a SQL compliant, open source object-relational database management system.

PostgreSQL is vulnerable to several buffer overflows in the PL/PgSQL parser.

A remote attacker could send a malicious query resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running PostgreSQL.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-db/postgresql
