Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PostgreSQL versions prior to 7.2.2

Description The issue concerns a buffer overflow in the date parser, which can be exploited remotely. This can lead to a denial of service and potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code via a long date string. The vulnerability affects the handling of long datetime input.

Recommendations For versions prior to 7.2.2, update to version 7.2.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting input to the date parser to prevent exploitation until a patch is applied.
