postgresql: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):postgresql CVE #(s):CVE-2009-4034 CVE-2009-4136
Created:December 15, 2009 Updated:May 28, 2010
Description: From the Mandriva advisory:

NULL Bytes in SSL Certificates can be used to falsify client or server authentication. This only affects users who have SSL enabled, perform certificate name validation or client certificate authentication, and where the Certificate Authority (CA) has been tricked into issuing invalid certificates. The use of a CA that can be trusted to always issue valid certificates is recommended to ensure you are not vulnerable to this issue (CVE-2009-4034).

Privilege escalation via changing session state in an index function. This closes a corner case related to vulnerabilities CVE-2009-3230 and CVE-2007-6600 (CVE-2009-4136).
