+ <title>PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ PostgreSQL contains multiple vulnerabilities that could result in privilege
+ escalation or a Denial of Service.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management
+ system.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ If using the "expression indexes" feature, PostgreSQL executes index
+ functions as the superuser during VACUUM and ANALYZE instead of the
+ table owner, and allows SET ROLE and SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION in the
+ index functions (CVE-2007-6600). Additionally, several errors involving
+ regular expressions were found (CVE-2007-4769, CVE-2007-4772,
+ CVE-2007-6067). Eventually, a privilege escalation vulnerability via
+ unspecified vectors in the DBLink module was reported (CVE-2007-6601).
+ This vulnerability is exploitable when local trust or ident
+ authentication is used, and is due to an incomplete fix of
+ CVE-2007-3278.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote authenticated attacker could send specially crafted queries
+ containing complex regular expressions to the server that could result
+ in a Denial of Service by a server crash (CVE-2007-4769), an infinite
+ loop (CVE-2007-4772) or a memory exhaustion (CVE-2007-6067). The two
+ other vulnerabilities can be exploited to gain additional privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround for all these issues at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;dev-db/postgresql&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
