postgresql is vulnerable to denial of service. A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL handles external plug-ins. This flaw could allow remote, authenticated users without superuser privileges to crash the back-end server by using the LOAD command on libraries in “/var/lib/pgsql/plugins/” that have already been loaded, causing a temporary denial of service during crash recovery.
