CVE-2010-0442 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-0442):
  The bitsubstr function in backend/utils/adt/varbit.c in PostgreSQL
  8.0.23, 8.1.11, and 8.3.8 allows remote authenticated users to cause
  a denial of service (daemon crash) or have unspecified other impact
  via vectors involving a negative integer in the third argument, as
  demonstrated by a SELECT statement that contains a call to the
  substring function for a bit string, related to an "overflow."
