   2013-04-11 08:26:47 by John Nemeth | Files touched by this commit (3) | Package removed
Log message:
All other postgresql83 packages were removed, and this one was
removed from the databases/Makefile, making it obvious that the
postgresql maintainer intended to remove this one as well, so make
it so.

Log message:
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security update to all \ 
current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.2.3, \ 
9.1.8, 9.0.12, 8.4.16, and 8.3.23. This update fixes a denial-of-service (DOS) \ 
vulnerability. All users should update their PostgreSQL installations as soon as \ 
possible.

The security issue fixed in this release, CVE-2013-0255, allows a previously \ 
authenticated user to crash the server by calling an internal function with \ 
invalid arguments. This issue was discovered by independent security researcher \ 
Sumit Soni this week and reported via Secunia SVCRP, and we are grateful for \ 
their efforts in making PostgreSQL more secure.

Today's update also fixes a performance regression which caused a decrease in \ 
throughput when using dynamic queries in stored procedures in version 9.2. \ 
Applications which use PL/pgSQL's EXECUTE are strongly affected by this \ 
regression and should be updated. Additionally, we have fixed intermittent \ 
crashes caused by CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, and multiple minor issues with \ 
replication.

This release is expected to be the final update for version 8.3, which is now \ 
End-of-Life (EOL). Users of version 8.3 should plan to upgrade to a later \ 
version of PostgreSQL immediately. For more information, see our Versioning \ 
Policy.

This update release also contains fixes for many minor issues discovered and \ 
patched by the PostgreSQL community in the last two months, including:

* Prevent unnecessary table scans during vacuuming
* Prevent spurious cached plan error in PL/pgSQL
* Allow sub-SELECTs to be subscripted
* Prevent DROP OWNED from dropping databases or tablespaces
* Make ECPG use translated messages
* Allow PL/Python to use multi-table trigger functions (again) in 9.1 and 9.2
* Fix several activity log management issues on Windows
* Prevent autovacuum file truncation from being cancelled by deadlock_timeout
* Make extensions build with the .exe suffix automatically on Windows
* Fix concurrency issues with CREATE/DROP DATABASE
* Reject out-of-range values in to_date() conversion function
* Revert cost estimation for large indexes back to pre-9.2 behavior
* Make pg_basebackup tolerate timeline switches
* Cleanup leftover temp table entries during crash recovery
* Prevent infinite loop when COPY inserts a large tuple into a table with a \ 
large fillfactor
* Prevent integer overflow in dynahash creation
* Make pg_upgrade work with INVALID indexes
* Fix bugs in TYPE privileges
* Allow Contrib installchecks to run in their own databases
* Many documentation updates
* Add new timezone "FET".
