Ubuntu Security Notice USN-417-2 February 06, 2007
postgresql-8.1 regression
https://launchpad.net/bugs/83505
===========================================================
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.
