Several format string flaws were found in the way 
mod_auth_pgsql logs information. It may be possible for a
remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the 'apache'
user if mod_auth_pgsql is used for user authentication. The

name CVE-2005-3656 to this issue.

Please note that this issue only affects servers which have
