  <background>
    <p>
    PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management
    system.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    PostgreSQL does not correctly check the data types of the SQL function
    arguments under unspecified circumstances nor the format of the
    provided tables in the query planner.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote authenticated attacker could send specially crafted queries to
    the server that could result in a server crash and possibly the
    unauthorized reading of some database content or arbitrary memory.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround 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>
