+ <description>
+ <p>
+ An error involving insecure search_path settings in the SECURITY
+ DEFINER functions has been reported in PostgreSQL.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ If allowed to call a SECURITY DEFINER function, an attacker could gain
+ the SQL privileges of the owner of the called function.
+ </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 and fix their
+ SECURITY DEFINER functions:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "dev-db/postgresql"</code>
+ <p>
+ In order to fix the SECURITY DEFINER functions, PostgreSQL users are
+ advised to refer to the PostgreSQL documentation: <uri link="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.77">http://www.postgresql
+ .org/docs/techdocs.77</uri>
