The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released updated versions for PostgreSQL 8.2 and all back versions to patch a privilege escalation exploit in SECURITY DEFINER functions. All users of this feature are urged to update to the latest minor version and follow instructions on securing these functions as soon as possible. This minor release also contains other fixes, so all users should plan to deploy it. Once you have updated, additional steps are required to secure your database against the exploit. Please read the release notes at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/release.html and the TechDocs article at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.77 on how to lock down your security definer functions, if you use them. As always, application of a minor release does not require a dump and reload of the database. The frequency of security fixes recently is a result of increased scrutiny of the PostgreSQL code by government agencies and security-conscious companies. Rapid turnaround on security patches is key to keeping PostgreSQL the most secure SQL database. Your work and vigilance in applying the latest security updates ensures that there will never be a PostgreSQL "worm". http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/release-8-2-4.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-1-9 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-0-13 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/release.html#RELEASE-7-4-17 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.77 Security: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2138

Update PostgreSQL with, amongst other things, a security fix:

2007-02-05T15:41:15Z

A vulnerability allows suppressing the normal checks that a SQL function returns the data type it's declared to do. These errors can easily be exploited to cause a backend crash, and in principle might be used to read database content that the user should not be able to access. [CVE-2007-0555] The release includes a set of other fixes as well. Please see the release information at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/release.html#RELEASE-7-4-16 Security: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0555

Add missing pg_id and bump PORTREVISION.

If you update the client, you should also update the server to make sure you are not left without the server-side tools. Do something like: portupgrade postgresql-client postgresql-server

Otherwise there could be problems with the service not starting up in the case when owner of the file has been changed.

Update all PostgreSQL to fix a security flaw

2006-05-23T21:18:58Z

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today released versions 8.1.4, 8.0.8, 7.4.13 and 7.3.15. This is an urgent update to close a security hole which can permit a SQL injection attack on some applications running PostgreSQL. Users are urged to apply the update as soon as reasonably possible. Since the update affects client functionality, most driver projects will be updating this week as well. Because the security issue involved is complex, we have added a section in Techdocs to explain it: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.52. Please read this first before applying the updates. Also, fix rc_subr startup problems on FreeBSD-7.x. Security: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.50 PR: ports/95154

Security patch, update to version 7.4.12.

Update postgresql with latest patch release.

A critical fix repairs an error in ReadBuffer that can cause data loss due to overwriting recently-added pages. This applies to the 8.1 and 8.0 branches on all platforms. Note that this update might require a reindex of textual columns under certain conditions; please see UPDATING. Other fixes included are: -- Character string locale comparison bug. This may require a REINDEX on text column indexes in some locales, such as Hungarian. -- Prevent accidental changes of locale by plperl -- Two fixes for Japanese encodings -- Two fixes for COPY CSV -- Fixes for functions returning RECORD -- Fixes to autovacuum, dblink and pgcrypto
