+    PostgreSQL is a SQL compliant, open source object-relational database
+    management system.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    PostgreSQL gives public EXECUTE access to a number of character
+    conversion routines, but doesn't validate the given arguments
+    (CAN-2005-1409). It has also been reported that the contrib/tsearch2
+    module of PostgreSQL misdeclares the return value of some functions as
+    "internal" (CAN-2005-1410).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could call the character conversion routines with specially
+    setup arguments to crash the backend process of PostgreSQL or to
+    potentially gain administrator rights. A malicious user could also call
+    the misdeclared functions of the contrib/tsearch2 module, resulting in
+    a Denial of Service or other, yet uninvestigated, impacts.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All PostgreSQL users should update to the latest available version and
+    follow the guide at <uri link="http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315">http://www.postgresql.o
