Medium: postgresql

Issue Overview: A signedness issue was found in the way the crypt function in the PostgreSQL pgcrypto module handled 8-bit characters in passwords when using Blowfish hashing. Up to three characters immediately preceding a non-ASCII character one with the high bit set had no effect on the hash...
