  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.

  These packages upgrade PostgreSQL to version 8.4.4. Refer to the linked PostgreSQL
  Release Notes for a list of changes.

  All PostgreSQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
