TITLE:
Debian update for libdbd-pg-perl

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34909

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34909/

DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for libdbd-pg-perl. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause
a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable
system.

1) A boundary error exists within the "pg_db_putline()" function in
dbdimp.c. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow
if malicious rows are retrieved from the database using the
"pg_getline()" or "getline()" function.

2) A memory leak exists within the function "dequote_bytea()" in
quote.c, which can be exploited to cause a memory exhaustion.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.

-- Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch --
