Descriptions

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.

PostgreSQL gives public EXECUTE access to a number of character conversion routines, but doesn't validate the given arguments (CVE-2005-1409). It has also been reported that the contrib/tsearch2 module of PostgreSQL misdeclares the return value of some functions as internal (CVE-2005-1410). Versions less than 8.0.2-r1 are affected.
