-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-13381 2009-12-18 03:19:32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : postgresql Product : Fedora 12 Version : 8.4.2 Release : 1.fc12 URL : http://www.postgresql.org/ Summary : PostgreSQL client programs Description : PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The postgresql package includes the client programs and libraries that you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server. These PostgreSQL client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal structure of PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client programs can be located on the same machine with the PostgreSQL server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL server over a network connection. This package contains the docs in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line utilities for managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a local or remote PostgreSQL server, you need this package. You also need to install this package if you're installing the postgresql-server package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to latest upstream point releases -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Dec 16 2009 Tom Lane <t...@redhat.com> 8.4.2-1 - Update to PostgreSQL 8.4.2, for various fixes described at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release-8-4-2.html including two security issues Related: #546321 Related: #547662 - Use -N not the obsolete -n in useradd call Resolves: #495727 - Clean up specfile to eliminate rpmlint gripes, mainly by removing no-longer-needed provisions for superseding rh-postgresql - add sparc/sparc64 to multilib header support -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #546321 - CVE-2009-4136 postgresql: SQL privilege escalation via modifications to session-local state https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546321 [ 2 ] Bug #547662 - CVE-2009-4034 postgresql: incorrect verification of SSL certificates with NUL in name https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547662 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
