Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'postgresql'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in postgresql:

contrib/pg_crypto's blowfish encryption code could give wrong results
on platforms where char is signed (which is most), leading to encrypted
passwords being weaker than they should be (CVE-2011-2483).

Additionally corrected ossp-uuid packages as well as corrected support
in postgresql 9.0.x are being provided for Mandriva Linux 2011.

This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.

Affected Software/OS:
postgresql on Mandriva Linux 2010.1,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1/X86_64,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5/X86_64

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
