Package        : pam-pgsql
Vulnerability  : format string
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0672

Florian Zumbiehl reported a vulnerability in pam-pgsql whereby the
username to be used for authentication is used as a format string when
writing a log message.  This vulnerability may allow an attacker to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the program requesting
PAM authentication.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.5.2-3woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.5.2-7.

We recommend that you update your pam-pgsql package.
