Default Security Release

Hi all,



I have some questions regarding post date on Feb 1, 2005

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql...2/msg00000.php



1. What is "LOAD" option it referred?
2. Which versions does the security hole affect? (Back from 7.2
till 8.0?)

Link
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql...2/msg00384.php
<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-02/msg00384.php>
says "Version(s): 8.0.1, 7.4.7, 7.3.9, 7.2.7",
does that mean this security only occur in those versions?

Thanks,

The SQL command used to load dynamic libraries.

Releases previous to 7.2 are not supported, so no patch is produced even
if they are affected.
