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:
Initial import of the uuid v1.0.2 package from pgfoundry.org.

The ``uuid'' PostgreSQL package implements creation of Universally
Unique Identifiers (UUIDs), also referred to as Globally Unique
Identifiers (GUIDs).  Although PostgreSQL supports storing UUIDs as a
native datatype, it does not provide any mechanism for creating them.
This package wraps openssl-supplied md5 and sha1 functions to create
UUIDs within PostgreSQL.
