Description

The tsearch2 module in PostgreSQL 7.4 through 8.0.x declares the (1) dex_init, (2) snb_en_init, (3) snb_ru_init, (4) spell_init, and (5) syn_init functions as "internal" even when they do not take an internal argument, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly have other impacts via SQL commands that call other functions that accept internal arguments.

Affected products

PostgreSQL: 7.4, 7.4.3, 7.4.5, 7.4.6, 7.4.7, 8.0 (+2)
Trustix Secure Linux: 2.0
