The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2005-0227 to this issue.
Multiple buffer overflows were found in PL/PgSQL. A database user who has
permissions to create plpgsql functions could trigger this flaw which could

server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2005-0245 and CVE-2005-0247 to these issues.
Users of PostgreSQL are advised to update to these erratum packages which
are not vulnerable to these issues.
