    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : postgresql-8.3, postgresql-8.4, postgresql-9.0
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2010-4015

    It was discovered that PostgreSQL's intarray contrib module does not
    properly handle integers with a large number of digits, leading to a
    server crash and potentially arbitary code execution.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 8.3.14-0lenny1 of the postgresql-8.3 package.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 8.4.7-0squeeze1 of the postgresql-8.4 package.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 8.4.7-1 of the postgresql-8.4 package and version 9.0.3-1 of
    the postgresql-9.0 package.

    The updates also include reliability improvements; for details see the respective changelogs.

    We recommend that you upgrade your PostgreSQL packages.
