As PostgreSQL uses the zlib library (for TOAST?), this is a headsup that a bug has been found in the zlib library that could cause data corruption or a security breach. See http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt for more details. Updating zlib is strongly recommended by many sources, and a patch is available. I have only posted this to HACKERS; if a cross-post to GENERAL or ADMIN is useful, that can be arranged. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
