Bug reference: 1848
Logged by: Eric Boutin
Email address: boutiner@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8
Operating system: Solaris 10 amd64
Description: Segfault with pg_dump when database name omitted
Details:
Short example that tells it all :
[eric@imelda ~]$ pg_dump -U appserv -t tbl_dossiers -s
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "Segmentation Fault (core
dumped)
[eric@imelda ~]$
It's not a major error in itself, but a segfault is never a good thing and
could potentially lead to buffer overflow/code execution
Fix : don't forget to append the database name
That's about it
Thanks for your good application
