A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 9.10

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
postgresql-contrib-8.1 8.1.23-0ubuntu0.6.06.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
postgresql-contrib-8.3 8.3.14-0ubuntu8.04

Ubuntu 9.10:
postgresql-contrib-8.4 8.4.7-0ubuntu0.9.10

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
postgresql-contrib-8.4 8.4.7-0ubuntu0.10.04

Ubuntu 10.10:

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Geoff Keating reported that a buffer overflow exists in the intarray
module's input function for the query_int type. This could allow an
attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary
code as the postgres user.
