## Description

The tsearch2 module in PostgreSQL 7.4 through 8.0.x declares the (1)
dex\_init, (2) snb\_en\_init, (3) snb\_ru\_init, (4) spell\_init, and (5)
syn\_init functions as "internal" even when they do not take an internal
argument, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application
crash) and possibly have other impacts via SQL commands that call other
functions that accept internal arguments.
