Thread: Fwd: Incorrect CVE mappings in http://www.postgresql.org/support/security/ page

This was sent to pgsql-security, but there's no security issue as such,
so reposting to the list where people can fix it.

Subject: [pgsql-security] Incorrect CVE mappings in http://www.postgresql.org/support/security/ page

Hello,

On your http://www.postgresql.org/support/security/ page, you have the entries for CVE-2014-0063 and CVE-2014-0064
switched. That is, CVE-2014-0063 should be for the "Potential buffer overruns in datetime input/output," and
CVE-2014-0064should be for "Potential buffer overruns due to integer overflow in size calculations."
 

If you can fix this, it could reduce confusion by some people.  This might be the only page containing the erroneous
mapping. Other PostgreSQL pages, including the commits, associate CVE-2014-0063 with datetime and CVE-2014-0064 with
theinteger overflows.
