CVE-2005-1410: Low severity PostgreSQL postgresql vulnerability
The tsearch2 module in PostgreSQL 7.4 through 8.0.x declares the (1) dexinit, (2) snbeninit, (3) snbruinit, (4) spellinit, and (5) syninit 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.
