Vulnerability Insight:
Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL, an object-relational SQL database. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2012-0866

It was discovered that the permissions of a function called by a trigger are not checked. This could result in privilege escalation.
