PostgreSQL is vulnerable to Denial Of Service (DoS). 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.
