Ubuntu Security Notice USN-417-3
12th February, 2007
postgresql-8.1 regression
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 6.10
- Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Details
USN-417-2 fixed a severe regression in the PostgreSQL server that was
introduced in USN-417-1 and caused some valid queries to be aborted
with a type error. This update fixes a similar (but much less
prominent) error.
At the same time, PostgreSQL is updated to version 8.1.8, which fixes
a range of important bugs.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version:
- Ubuntu 6.10:

- postgresql-8.1 8.1.8-0ubuntu6.10
- Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
- postgresql-client-8.1 8.1.8-0ubuntu6.06.1
- postgresql-8.1 8.1.8-0ubuntu6.06.1

necessary changes.
