3. Problem description:
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS).
A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL allows authenticated users to
execute security-definer functions. It was possible for an unprivileged
user to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the security-definer
function. (CVE-2007-2138)
Users of PostgreSQL should upgrade to these updated packages containing
PostgreSQL version 8.1.9 which corrects this issue.
