+ <background>
+ <p>
+ PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management
+ system.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ PostgreSQL contains a flaw in the string parsing routines that allows
+ certain backslash-escaped characters to be bypassed with some multibyte
+ character encodings. This vulnerability was discovered by Akio Ishida
+ and Yasuo Ohgaki.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could execute arbitrary SQL statements on the PostgreSQL
+ server. Be aware that web applications using PostgreSQL as a database
+ back-end might be used to exploit this vulnerability.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version in the
+ respective branch they are using:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-db/postgresql</code>
+ <p>
+ Note: While a fix exists for the 7.3 branch it doesn't currently work
+ on Gentoo. All 7.3.x users of PostgreSQL should consider updating their
+ installations to the 7.4 (or higher) branch as soon as possible!
+ </p>
