Insight
postgresql was updated to version 9.2.4 (bnc#812525):
* CVE-2013-1899: Fix insecure parsing of server
command-line switches. A connection request containing a database name that begins with '-' could be crafted to damage or destroy files within the server's data directory, even if the request is eventually rejected.
* CVE-2013-1900: Reset OpenSSL randomness state in each postmaster child process. This avoids a scenario
wherein random numbers generated by 'contrib/pgcrypto' functions might be relatively easy for another database user to guess. The risk is only significant when the postmaster is configured with ssl = on but most
connections don't use SSL encryption.
* CVE-2013-1901: Make REPLICATION privilege checks test current user not authenticated user. An unprivileged database user could exploit this mistake to call
pg_start_backup() or pg_stop_backup(), thus possibly interfering with creation of routine backups.
* See the release notes for the rest of the changes:
