PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS).
Two flaws were found in the way the PostgreSQL server handles certain
SQL-language functions. An authenticated user could execute a sequence of
commands which could crash the PostgreSQL server or possibly read from
arbitrary memory locations. A user would need to have permissions to drop
and add database tables to be able to exploit these issues (CVE-2007-0555,
CVE-2007-0556).
Several denial of service flaws were found in the PostgreSQL server. An
authenticated user could execute certain SQL commands which could crash the
PostgreSQL server (CVE-2006-5540, CVE-2006-5541, CVE-2006-5542).
Users of PostgreSQL should upgrade to these updated packages containing
PostgreSQL version 8.1.8 which corrects these issues.
