CentOS Update for postgresql CESA-2009:1484 centos4 i386. The remote host is missing an update for the 'postgresql' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system (DBMS) and the update resolves multiple security issues including privilege escalation and denial of service

  It was discovered that the upstream patch for CVE-2007-6600 included in the
  Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0038 did not include protection against
  misuse of the RESET ROLE and RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands. An
  authenticated user could use this flaw to install malicious code that would
  later execute with superuser privileges. (CVE-2009-3230)

  A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL handled encoding conversion. A
  remote, authenticated user could trigger an encoding conversion failure,
  possibly leading to a temporary denial of service. Note: To exploit this
  issue, a locale and client encoding for which specific messages fail to
  translate must be selected (the availability of these is determined by an
  administrator-defined locale setting). (CVE-2009-0922)

  Note: For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, this update upgrades PostgreSQL to
  version 7.4.26. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, this update upgrades
  PostgreSQL to version 8.1.18. Refer to the linked PostgreSQL Release Notes for a
  list of changes.

  All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
  resolve these issues. If the postgresql service is running, it will be
  automatically restarted after installing this update.");
