Detail

It was discovered that the PostgreSQL database performs insufficient type checking for SQL function arguments, which might lead to denial of service or information disclosure.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 7.4.7-6sarge4.

For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 8.1.7-1 of the postgresql-8.1 package.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 8.1.7-1 of the postgresql-8.1 package.

We recommend that you upgrade your PostgreSQL packages.
