| <impact type="high"> |
| <p> |
| A remote attacker could send a malicious query resulting in the |
| execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running |
| PostgreSQL. |

| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |

| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-db/postgresql</code> |
