Title:         Multiple buffer overflows
Ticket ID:     #549
Ticket URL:    http://bugs.pld-linux.org/?bug=549
Package:       postgresql-7.2.2-1
Distribution:  
Category:      security problem
Current state: closed -- can't be resolved
Text:

All security-related problems in postgresql 7.2 are resolved
except for one (type casting functions, i.e. *_in() and *_out()),
which cannot be resolved in 7.2.x due to database format
incompatibility.
Upgrade to 7.3 is suggested (but it requires dump/restore
cycle and recompilation of packages that use libpq with new
libpq version - impossible in plain Ra distribution line).
*** State changed to 'closed -- can't be resolved'
