  <background>
    <p>PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management
      system.

  <description>
    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL. Please
      review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could spoof SSL connections. Furthermore, a remote
      authenticated attacker could cause a Denial of Service, read and write
      arbitrary files, inject SQL commands into dump scripts, or bypass
      database restrictions to execute database functions.
    </p>
    
    <p>A context-dependent attacker could more easily obtain access via
      authentication attempts with an initial substring of the intended
      password. 
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All PostgreSQL 9.1 server users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/postgresql-server-9.1.5"
    </code>
    
    <p>All PostgreSQL 9.0 server users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/postgresql-server-9.0.9"
    </code>
    
    <p>All PostgreSQL 8.4 server users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/postgresql-server-8.4.13"
    </code>
    
    <p>All PostgreSQL 8.3 server users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
