  (DBMS). PL/Perl and PL/Tcl allow users to write PostgreSQL functions in the
  Perl and Tcl languages, and are installed in trusted mode by default. In
  trusted mode, certain operations, such as operating system level access,
  are restricted.

  A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL enforced permission checks on
  scripts written in PL/Perl. If the PL/Perl procedural language was
  registered on a particular database, an authenticated database user running
  a specially-crafted PL/Perl script could use this flaw to bypass intended
  PL/Perl trusted mode restrictions, allowing them to run arbitrary Perl
  scripts with the privileges of the database server. (CVE-2010-1169)

  Red Hat would like to thank Tim Bunce for responsibly reporting the
  CVE-2010-1169 flaw.

  A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL enforced permission checks on
  scripts written in PL/Tcl. If the PL/Tcl procedural language was registered
  on a particular database, an authenticated database user running a
  specially-crafted PL/Tcl script could use this flaw to bypass intended
  PL/Tcl trusted mode restrictions, allowing them to run arbitrary Tcl
  scripts with the privileges of the database server. (CVE-2010-1170)

  A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL retrieved a
  substring from the bit string for BIT() and BIT VARYING() SQL data types.
  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-2010-0442)

  An integer overflow flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL used to calculate
  the size of the hash table for joined relations. An authenticated database
  user could create a specially-crafted SQL query which could cause a
  temporary denial of service (postgres daemon crash) or, potentially,
  execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the database server.
  (CVE-2010-0733)

  PostgreSQL improperly protected session-local state during the execution of
  an index function by a database superuser during the database maintenance
  operations. An authenticated database user could use this flaw to elevate
  their privileges via specially-crafted index functions. (CVE-2009-4136)

  These packages upgrade PostgreSQL to version 8.1.21.
