Red Hat Security Advisory: EnterpriseDB security update
Notes
Topic
An updated EnterpriseDB package that fixes a security issue is now
available for Red Hat eXchange.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
EnterpriseDB Advanced Server is a relational database management system
(RDBMS) based on PostgreSQL. This product is available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 via the Red Hat eXchange (http://rhx.redhat.com)
A flaw was found in handling of certain debugging function calls in
EnterpriseDB Advanced Server. A remote authenticated user could send a
carefully crafted request and cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2007-4639)
Users of EnterpriseDB Advanced Server should upgrade to this updated
package, which resolves this issue.

Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.",
