PostgreSQL developers fix vulnerabilities 

,----[ Quote ]
| PostgreSQL 7 and 8 users are advised to 
| update their installations as the 
| development team has released new versions 
| which fix a vulnerability classed as 
| moderately severe in PL/perl and PL/tcl. 
| CVE-2010-1169, CVE-2010-1447 and 
| CVE-2010-1170 reports detail the 
| vulnerabilities involved. The changes 
| include the removal of the Safe.pm module, 
| which acted as a kind of sandbox for Perl 
| programs. Instead, PostgreSQL code now 
| includes a hard-wired list of permissible 
| Perl operators. According to the release 
| notes, one side effect of this is that 
| stored procedures written in Perl now 
| compile more quickly.

| âso I created Jailer.â
