    PostgreSQL is vulnerable to several buffer overflows in the PL/PgSQL
    parser.

  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send a malicious query resulting in the
    execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
    PostgreSQL.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-db/postgresql</code>
  </resolution>
