  +Package:             postgresql
  +Vulnerability:       remote code execution
  +OpenPKG Specific:    no
  +
  +Affected Releases:   Affected Packages:           Corrected Packages:
  +OpenPKG CURRENT      <= postgresql-7.3.3-20030723 >= postgresql-7.3.4-20030725
  +OpenPKG 1.3          N.A.                         none
  +OpenPKG 1.2          <= postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.2    >= postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3
  +
  +Dependent Packages:  none
  +
  +Description:
  +  Two bugs leading to a buffer overflow in the PostgreSQL [0] RDBMS,
  +  versions 7.2.x and 7.3.x prior to 7.3.4, were discovered. The
  +  vulnerability exists in the PostgreSQL abstract data type (ADT) to
  +  ASCII conversion functions.
  +  
  +  It has been conjectured that excessive data passed to the involved
  +  to_ascii_xxx() functions may overrun the bounds of an insufficient
  +  buffer reserved in heap memory, resulting in the corruption of heap
  +  based memory management structures that are adjacent to it. It is
  +  currently believed that under the correct circumstances an attacker
  +  may use this to execute arbitrary instructions in the context of the
  +  PostgreSQL server.
  +  
  +  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
  +  CAN-2003-0901 [1] to the problem.
  +
  +  Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
  +  postgresql". If you have the "postgresql" package installed and its
  +  version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
  +  upgrade it (see Solution). [2][3]
  +
  +Solution:
  +  Select the updated source RPM appropriate for the OpenPKG release
  +  [4], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [5] or a mirror location,
  +  verify its integrity [6], build a corresponding binary RPM from it
  +  [2] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM
  +  [3]. For the release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the following operations
  +  to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust
  +  accordingly).
  +
  +  $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
  +  ftp> bin
  +  ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD
  +  ftp> get postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.src.rpm
  +  ftp> bye
  +  $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.src.rpm
  +  $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.src.rpm
  +  $ su -
  +  # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/postgresql-7.3.1-1.2.3.*.rpm
