+    <p>PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management
+      system.

+  <description>
+    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL. Please
+      review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
+    </p>
+    
+    <p>In addition it was discovered that Gentoo’s PostgreSQL installation
+      suffered from a privilege escalation vulnerability due to a runscript
+      which called OpenRC’s checkpath() on a user controlled path and allowed
+      user running PostgreSQL to kill arbitrary processes via PID file
+      manipulation.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>A remote attacker could bypass certain client-side connection security
+      features, read arbitrary server memory or alter certain data.
+    </p>
+    
+    <p>In addition, a local attacker could gain privileges or cause a Denial of
+      Service condition by  killing arbitrary processes.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
