The 토토 사이트 releases today a security update for
all recent PostgreSQL versions: minor versions 8.2.2, 8.1.7, 8.0.11, 7.4.16
and 7.3.18. Because this patches a medium-risk security hole, all users are
urged to upgrade at the earliest opportunity.
This release fixes CVE-2007-0555 and CVE-2007-0556. Both of these issues
allow an authenticated attacker with the permissions to run arbitrary SQL to
launch a denial-of-service attack or possibly read out random chunks of
memory. Since attacks to require authenticated access, the security hole is
only considered medium risk. You can read more about the issues on Mitre:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0555
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0556
In keeping with the PostgreSQL Project's security fix policies, this update is
being released as quickly as possible: within 2 weeks of the first bug
report, and within five days of developing a fix. This type of fast response
is central to PostgreSQL's reputation as one of the most secure databases in
the industry.
The new minor versions may be downloaded from our download page:
http://www.postgresql.org/download/. Users will not need to dump & reload
for the upgrade. However, see the release notes for your target version:
