versions of our database system, including 9.5.4, 9.4.9, 9.3.14, 9.2.18 and
9.1.23. This release fixes two security issues. It also patches a number of
other bugs reported over the last three months. Users who rely on security
isolation between database users should update as soon as possible. Other users
should plan to update at the next convenient downtime.
If you are using the ICU patch, please consult UPDATING.
Improve periodic cleanup, suggested by claudius (at) ambtec.de. [1]

Security Fixes for Regular Expressions, PL/Java
This release closes security hole CVE-2016-0773, an issue with regular
expression (regex) parsing. Prior code allowed users to pass in expressions
which included out-of-range Unicode characters, triggering a backend crash.
This issue is critical for PostgreSQL systems with untrusted users or which
generate regexes based on user input.
The update also fixes CVE-2016-0766, a privilege escalation issue for users of
PL/Java. Certain custom configuration settings (GUCS) for PL/Java will now be
modifiable only by the database superuser

Two security issues have been fixed in this release which affect users
of specific PostgreSQL features:
CVE-2015-5289: json or jsonb input values constructed from arbitrary
user input can crash the PostgreSQL server and cause a denial of
service.
CVE-2015-5288: The crypt( function included with the optional pgCrypto
extension could be exploited to read a few additional bytes of memory.
No working exploit for this issue has been developed.
This update will also disable SSL renegotiation by default;
previously, it was enabled by default. SSL renegotiation will be
removed entirely in PostgreSQL versions 9.5 and later.

Earlier update releases attempted to fix an issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 and 9.4
with "multixact wraparound", but failed to account for issues doing multixact
cleanup during crash recovery. This could cause servers to be unable to restart
after a crash. As such, all users of 9.3 and 9.4 should apply this update as
soon as possible.

Data Corruption Fix
For users of PostgreSQL versions 9.3 or 9.4, this release fixes a problem where
the database will fail to protect against "multixact wraparound", resulting in
data corruption or loss. Users with a high transaction rate (1 million or more
per hour) in a database with many foreign keys are especially vulnerable. We
strongly urge all users of 9.4 and 9.3 to update their installations in the
next few days.
Users of versions 9.2 and earlier are not affected by this issue.

additional conditions, and as such are not considered generally urgent.

version of the database system, including versions 9.3.4, 9.2.8, 9.1.13,
9.0.17, and 8.4.21. This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with
replication and crash recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor
issues in all versions. All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their
installations at the next possible downtime. Users of older versions should
update at their convenience.
The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication
standbys, servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and
standalone servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes
unrecoverable index corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row
locking operations. This can then cause query results to be inconsistent
depending on whether or not an index is used, and eventually lead to primary
key violations and similar issues. For this reason, users are encouraged to
replace each of their standby databases with a new base backup after applying
the update.
See release notes for more changes.

update to all supported versions of the PostgreSQL database system,
which includes minor versions 9.3.3, 9.2.7, 9.1.12, 9.0.16, and
8.4.20. This update contains fixes for multiple security issues, as
well as several fixes for replication and data integrity issues. All
users are urged to update their installations at the earliest
opportunity, especially those using binary replication or running a
high-security application.
This update fixes CVE-2014-0060, in which PostgreSQL did not properly
enforce the WITH ADMIN OPTION permission for ROLE management. Before
this fix, any member of a ROLE was able to grant others access to the
same ROLE regardless if the member was given the WITH ADMIN OPTION
permission. It also fixes multiple privilege escalation issues,
including: CVE-2014-0061, CVE-2014-0062, CVE-2014-0063, CVE-2014-0064,
CVE-2014-0065, and CVE-2014-0066. More information on these issues can

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 (for versions 9.x only) fixed in this release,
[CVE-2013-1899](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=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. This issue was
discovered by Mitsumasa Kondo and Kyotaro Horiguchi of NTT Open Source
Software Center.
Two lesser security fixes are also included in this release:
[CVE-2013-1900](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1900),
wherein random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be
easy for another database user to guess (all versions), and
[CVE-2013-1901](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1901),
which mistakenly allows an unprivileged user to run commands that
could interfere with in-progress backups (for versions 9.x only).

all active branches
of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.1.5, 9.0.9, 8.4.13 and 8.3.20. This
update patches security holes associated with libxml2 and libxslt, similar to those affecting
other open source projects. All users are urged to update their installations at the first
available opportunity.
This security release fixes a vulnerability in the built-in XML functionality, and a vulnerability
in the XSLT functionality supplied by the optional XML2 extension. Both vulnerabilities allow
reading of arbitrary files by any authenticated database user, and the XSLT vulnerability
allows writing files as well. The fixes cause limited backwards compatibility issues.
These issues correspond to the following two vulnerabilities:
CVE-2012-3488: PostgreSQL insecure use of libxslt
CVE-2012-3489: PostgreSQL insecure use of libxml2
This release also contains several fixes to version 9.1, and a smaller number of fixes to older versions, including:
Updates and corrections to time zone data
Multiple documentation updates and corrections
Add limit on max_wal_senders
Fix dependencies generated during ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX.
Correct behavior of unicode conversions for PL/Python
Fix WITH attached to a nested set operation (UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT).
Fix syslogger so that log_truncate_on_rotation works in the first rotation.
Only allow autovacuum to be auto-canceled by a directly blocked process.
Improve fsync request queue operation
Prevent corner-case core dump in rfree().
Fix Walsender so that it responds correctly to timeouts and deadlocks

Prevent unsuitable slaves from being selected for synchronous replication

This update contains a critical fix to the pg_upgrade utility
which prevents significant downtime issues. Do not use
pg_upgrade without installing this update first.
The issue with pg_upgrade and the fix are detailed on the PostgreSQL
wiki: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/20110408pg_upgrade_fix
Users who have already used pg_upgrade should run the database repair
script given on that page on their databases as soon as possible.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release.html for a full
list of changes with details.
Allow the username of the postgresql user to configurable for 8.4 and 9.0.

This update includes a security fix which prevents a buffer overrun in
the contrib module intarray's input function for the query_int type.
This bug is a security risk since the function's return address could
be overwritten by malicious code.
All supported versions of PostgreSQL are impacted. However, the
affected contrib module is optional. Only users who have installed the
intarray module in their database are affected. See the CVE Advisory
at http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-4015
This release includes 63 bugfixes, including:
- Avoid unexpected conversion overflow in planner for distant date values
- Fix assignment to an array slice that is before the existing range
of subscripts
- Fix pg_restore to do the right thing when escaping large objects
- Avoid failures when EXPLAIN tries to display a simple-form CASE expression
- Improved build support for Windows version
- Fix bug in contrib/seg's GiST picksplit algorithm which caused
performance degredation
The 9.0.3 update also contains several fixes for issues with features
introduced or changed in version 9.0:
- Ensure all the received WAL is fsync'd to disk before exiting walreceiver
- Improve performance of walreceiver by avoiding excess fsync activity
- Make ALTER TABLE revalidate uniqueness and exclusion constraints when needed
- Fix EvalPlanQual for UPDATE of an inheritance tree when the tables
are not all alike

After many years of development, PostgreSQL has become feature-complete in many areas.
This release shows a targeted approach to adding features (e.g., authentication,
monitoring, space reuse), and adds capabilities defined in the later SQL standards.
The major areas of enhancement are:
Windowing Functions
Common Table Expressions and Recursive Queries
Default and variadic parameters for functions
Parallel Restore
Column Permissions
Per-database locale settings
Improved hash indexes
Improved join performance for EXISTS and NOT EXISTS queries
Easier-to-use Warm Standby
Automatic sizing of the Free Space Map
Visibility Map (greatly reduces vacuum overhead for slowly-changing tables)
Version-aware psql (backslash commands work against older servers)
Support SSL certificates for user authentication
Per-function runtime statistics
Easy editing of functions in psql
New contrib modules: pg_stat_statements, auto_explain, citext, btree_gin

The PostgreSQL Project today released minor versions updating all active
branches of the PostgreSQL object-relational database system, including
versions 8.3.7, 8.2.13, 8.1.17, 8.0.21 and 7.4.25. This release fixes a denial
of service issue with encoding conversion, and all users should update their
installations at the next reasonable opportunity.
There are 12 other minor fixes contained in these update releases, including
fixes for xpath() functions in version 8.3. See the release notes for full
details.

The PostgreSQL Project today released
updates to all active branches of the
PostgreSQL object-relational database
system, including versions 8.3.6,
8.2.12, 8.1.16, 8.0.20 and 7.4.24. These
updates include two serious fixes, for
autovacuum crashes in version 8.1 and
GiST indexing data loss in 8.3, and
those two versions should be updated as
soon as possible.
These update releases also include
patches for several low-risk security
holes, as well as up to 17 other minor
fixes, depending on your major version
of PostgreSQL. Included as well are
Daylight Savings Time changes for Nepal,
Switzerland and Cuba. See the release
notes for full details.
The first serious issue affects users
who are using version 8.1 with
Autovacuum, which will fail when XID
rollover is required. The second serious
issue can cause data loss when CLUSTER
is used with GiST indexes (such as full
text indexes) on version 8.3. Both
issues are fixed in these releases.

Note that the GiST problem mentioned does not apply to users of
the FreeBSD port, since the previous version of PostgreSQL never
reached the ports tree, due to the freeze of the tree pending the
FreeBSD 7.1 update.
