Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2003-0040

Package name:      postgresql
Summary:           CAN-2003-0901
Date:              2003-11-15
Affected versions: TSL 1.2, 1.5, 2.0

Package description:
  PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS)
  that supports almost all SQL constructs (including transactions, subselects
  and user-defined types and functions). The postgresql package includes the
  client programs and libraries that you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS
  server. These PostgreSQL client programs are programs that directly
  manipulate the internal structure of PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL
  server. These client programs can be located on the same machine with the
  PostgreSQL server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL
  server over a network connection. This package contains the docs in HTML for
  the whole package, as well as command-line utilities for managing PostgreSQL
  databases on a PostgreSQL server.If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL
  database on a remote PostgreSQL server, you need this package. You also need
  to install this package if you're installing the postgresql-server package.

Problem description:
  Buffer overflow in to_ascii for PostgreSQL 7.2.x, and 7.3.x before 7.3.4,
  allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
