Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 6.10 : postgresql-8.1 regression (USN-417-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 28008

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-417-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in the PostgreSQL server.
Unfortunately this update had a regression that caused some valid queries to be aborted with a type error. This update corrects that problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
