(PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    PostgreSQL gives public EXECUTE access to a number of character
    conversion routines, but doesn't validate the given arguments
    (CAN-2005-1409). It has also been reported that the contrib/tsearch2
    module of PostgreSQL misdeclares the return value of some functions as
    'internal' (CAN-2005-1410).
  
Impact :

    An attacker could call the character conversion routines with specially
    setup arguments to crash the backend process of PostgreSQL or to
    potentially gain administrator rights. A malicious user could also call
    the misdeclared functions of the contrib/tsearch2 module, resulting in
    a Denial of Service or other, yet uninvestigated, impacts.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
