(PostgreSQL: SQL injection)

    PostgreSQL contains a flaw in the string parsing routines that allows
    certain backslash-escaped characters to be bypassed with some multibyte
    character encodings. This vulnerability was discovered by Akio Ishida
    and Yasuo Ohgaki.
  
Impact :

    An attacker could execute arbitrary SQL statements on the PostgreSQL
    server. Be aware that web applications using PostgreSQL as a database
    back-end might be used to exploit this vulnerability.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."

    on Gentoo. All 7.3.x users of PostgreSQL should consider updating their
    installations to the 7.4 (or higher) branch as soon as possible!"
