Synopsis:	Moderate: postgresql security update
Issue date:	2011-02-03
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-4015

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL
processed certain tokens from an SQL query when the intarray module was
enabled on a particular database. An authenticated database user running 
a specially-crafted SQL query could use this flaw to cause a temporary 
denial of service (postgres daemon crash) or, potentially, execute 
arbitrary code with the privileges of the database server. (CVE-2010-4015)


For Scientific Linux 4, the updated postgresql packages contain a
backported patch for this issue; there are no other changes.

For Scientific Linux 5, the updated postgresql packages upgrade 
PostgreSQL to version 8.1.23, and contain a backported patch for this
issue. Refer to the PostgreSQL Release Notes for a full list of changes:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/release.html

If the postgresql service is running, it will be automatically restarted 
after installing this update.
