Subject: Fast-Path documentation
Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2003 18:13:17 +0100 (CET)
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

The libpq documentation contains this:

"""
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> provides a fast-path interface to
send function calls to the backend.  This is a trapdoor into system
internals and can be a potential security hole.  Most users will not need
this feature.
"""

Why and under what circumstances is this a security hole, and what is a
user to do about it?
