Log message:
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security update to all \
current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.2.4, \
9.1.9, 9.0.13, and 8.4.17. This update fixes a high-exposure security \
vulnerability in versions 9.0 and later. All users of the affected versions are \
strongly urged to apply the update immediately.
A major security issue fixed in this release, CVE-2013-1899, makes it possible \
for a connection request containing a database name that begins with \
"-" to be crafted that can damage or destroy files within a server's \
data directory. Anyone with access to the port the PostgreSQL server listens on \
can initiate this request.
Two lesser security fixes are also included in this release: CVE-2013-1900, \
wherein random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be easy for \
another database user to guess, and CVE-2013-1901, which mistakenly allows an \
unprivileged user to run commands that could interfere with in-progress backups. \
Finally, this release fixes two security issues with the graphical installers \
for Linux and Mac OS X: insecure passing of superuser passwords to a script, \
CVE-2013-1903 and the use of predictable filenames in /tmp CVE-2013-1902.

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".
