PostgreSQL's contains several vulnerabilities:
</p>
<ul>
<li>John Heasman discovered that the LOAD extension is vulnerable to
local privilege escalation (CAN-2005-0227).</li>
<li>It is possible to bypass the EXECUTE permission check for functions
(CAN-2005-0244).</li>
<li>The PL/PgSQL parser is vulnerable to heap-based buffer overflow
(CAN-2005-0244).</li>
<li>The intagg contrib module is vulnerable to a Denial of Service
(CAN-2005-0246).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the PostgreSQL server, bypass security restrictions and
crash the server.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no know workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-db/postgresql</code>
</resolution>
