Package        : postgresql
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0901
Bugtraq ID     : 8741

Tom Lane discovered a buffer overflow in the to_ascii function in
PostgreSQL.  This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
the host running the database.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 7.2.1-2woody4.

The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain this problem.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql package.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
