<description>
<p>
An error involving insecure search_path settings in the SECURITY
DEFINER functions has been reported in PostgreSQL.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
If allowed to call a SECURITY DEFINER function, an attacker could gain
the SQL privileges of the owner of the called function.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version and fix their
SECURITY DEFINER functions:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;dev-db/postgresql&quot;</code>
<p>
In order to fix the SECURITY DEFINER functions, PostgreSQL users are
advised to refer to the PostgreSQL documentation: <uri
link="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.77">http://www.postgresql
.org/docs/techdocs.77</uri>
