CVE-2014-0063: Buffer Overflow
First published: Fri Feb 14 2014(Updated: )
It was found that the buffers used to hold datetime output were too small. Long output could lead to a stack-based buffer overflow, possibly allowing an authenticated database user to crash the PostgreSQL server or execute arbitrary code. Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank the PostgreSQL project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Noah Misch as the original reporter.
