Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

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

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
postgresql-8.1 8.1.4-0ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 6.10:
postgresql-8.1 8.1.4-7ubuntu0.3

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-417-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in the PostgreSQL server. Unfortunately this update had a regression that caused some valid queries to be aborted with a type error. This update corrects that problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
