Synopsis:	Moderate: postgresql84 security update
Issue date:	2011-02-03
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-4015

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL
processed certain tokens from an SQL query when the intarray module was
enabled on a particular database. An authenticated database user running 
a specially-crafted SQL query could use this flaw to cause a temporary 
denial of service (postgres daemon crash) or, potentially, execute 
arbitrary code with the privileges of the database server. (CVE-2010-4015)

These updated postgresql84 packages upgrade PostgreSQL to version 8.4.7.
Refer to the PostgreSQL Release Notes for a full list of changes:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release.html

If the postgresql service is running, it will be automatically restarted 
after installing this update.

SL 5.x
