Discussion

PostgreSQL TSearch2 Design Error Vulnerability

The PostgreSQL 'contrib/tsearch2' module is prone to a security vulnerability. The issue occurs because the module doesn't correctly declare several functions.

Although unconfirmed, presumably this issue allows a remote user who can write SQL queries to the affected database to call these functions, which shouldn't be accessible directly from SQL commands.

This vulnerability affects PostgreSQL 7.4 and later.
