Descriptions

The core server component in PostgreSQL 8.4 before 8.4.1, 8.3 before 8.3.8, and 8.2 before 8.2.14 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (backend shutdown) by "re-LOAD-ing" libraries from a certain plugins directory.

El componente core server de PostgreSQL desde v8.4 anteriores a v8.4.1, desde v8.3 anteriores a v8.3.8, y desde v8.2 anteriores a v8.2.14 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados producir una denegación de servicio (caída del backend) mediante "recarga" de librerías desde cierto directorio de plugins.
