Details

Updated postgresql packages that fix several security vulnerabilities are
now available for the Red Hat Application Stack.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS).

A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL allows authenticated users to
execute security-definer functions. It was possible for an unprivileged
user to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the security-definer
function. (CVE-2007-2138)

Users of PostgreSQL should upgrade to these updated packages containing
PostgreSQL version 8.1.9 which corrects this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
