+      Remove security vulnerability that allowed connected users

+     </para>
+     <para>
+      The vulnerability involves suppressing the normal check that a SQL
+      function returns the data type it's declared to, or changing the
+      data type of a table column used in a SQL function (CVE-2007-0555).
+      This error can easily be exploited to cause a backend crash, and in
+      principle might be used to read database content that the user
+      should not be able to access.
