1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The PostgreSQL Object-Relational DBMS was found vulnerable to several
security related buffer overflow problems.
The buffer overflows are located in:
* handling long datetime input
* lpad() and rpad() function with multibyte
* repeat() function
* TZ and SET TIME ZONE environment variables
These bugs could just be exploited by attackers who have access to the
postgresql server to gain the privileges postgres user ID .
The PostgreSQL package is not installed by default.
A temporary fix is not known.
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
the update.
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- mod_php4
There was a mistake in Advisory SuSE-SA:2002:036 in section
"Affected products". SuSE 7.0 and 7.1 are _not_ vulnerable.
- kon2
There is a vulnerability in kon2, a Japanese input manager for the
VGA console, that can be exploited by local users to obtain root
privilege. We recommend to un-install kon2.

3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information
- Package authenticity verification:
SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded
file or rpm package:
1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement.
2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.
1) execute the command
md5sum
