postgresql-9.1 9.1.9-0ubuntu12.04 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
postgresql-9.1 (9.1.9-0ubuntu12.04) precise-security; urgency=low * New upstream security/bug fix release: (LP: #1163184) - 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-2013-1899] - 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-2013-1900] - 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. [CVE-2013-1901] - Fix GiST indexes to not use "fuzzy" geometric comparisons when it's not appropriate to do so. The core geometric types perform comparisons using "fuzzy" equality, but gist_box_same must do exact comparisons, else GiST indexes using it might become inconsistent. After installing this update, users should "REINDEX" any GiST indexes on box, polygon, circle, or point columns, since all of these use gist_box_same. - Fix erroneous range-union and penalty logic in GiST indexes that use "contrib/btree_gist" for variable-width data types, that is text, bytea, bit, and numeric columns. These errors could result in inconsistent indexes in which some keys that are present would not be found by searches, and also in useless index bloat. Users are advised to "REINDEX" such indexes after installing this update. - Fix bugs in GiST page splitting code for multi-column indexes. These errors could result in inconsistent indexes in which some keys that are present would not be found by searches, and also in indexes that are unnecessarily inefficient to search. Users are advised to "REINDEX" multi-column GiST indexes after installing this update. - See HISTORY/changelog.gz for details about the other bug fixes. -- Martin Pitt <email address hidden> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:59:41 +0200

with the libpq library in order to communicate with a PostgreSQL
database backend.
.
PostgreSQL is an object-relational SQL database management system.
- libpq5: PostgreSQL C client library
libpq is a C library that enables user programs to communicate with
the PostgreSQL database server. The server can be on another machine
and accessed through TCP/IP. This version of libpq is compatible
with servers from PostgreSQL 8.2 or later.
.
This package contains the run-time library, needed by packages using
libpq.

- postgresql-9.1: object-relational SQL database, version 9.1 server
PostgreSQL is a fully featured object-relational database management
system. It supports a large part of the SQL standard and is designed
to be extensible by users in many aspects. Some of the features are:
ACID transactions, foreign keys, views, sequences, subqueries,
triggers, user-defined types and functions, outer joins, multiversion
concurrency control. Graphical user interfaces and bindings for many
programming languages are available as well.
.
This package provides the database server for PostgreSQL 9.1. Servers
for other major release versions can be installed simultaneously and
are coordinated by the postgresql-common package. A package providing
ident-server is needed if you want to authenticate remote connections
with identd.
- postgresql-9.1-dbg: debug symbols for postgresql-9.1
PostgreSQL is a fully featured object-relational database management
system. It supports a large part of the SQL standard and is designed
to be extensible by users in many aspects. Some of the features are:
ACID transactions, foreign keys, views, sequences, subqueries,
triggers, user-defined types and functions, outer joins, multiversion
concurrency control. Graphical user interfaces and bindings for many
programming languages are available as well.
.
This package provides detached debugging symbols for PostgreSQL 9.1.
- postgresql-client-9.1: front-end programs for PostgreSQL 9.1
This package contains client and administrative programs for
PostgreSQL: these are the interactive terminal client psql and
programs for creating and removing users and databases.
.
This is the client package for PostgreSQL 9.1. If you install
PostgreSQL 9.1 on a standalone machine, you need the server package
postgresql-9.1, too. On a network, you can install this package on
many client machines, while the server package may be installed on
only one machine.

- postgresql-contrib-9.1: additional facilities for PostgreSQL
The PostgreSQL contrib package provides several additional features
for the PostgreSQL database. This version is built to work with the
server package postgresql-9.1. contrib often serves as a testbed for
features before they are adopted into PostgreSQL proper:
.

two points on the earth's surface
fuzzystrmatch - Levenshtein, metaphone, and soundex fuzzy string matching
hstore - Store (key, value) pairs
intagg - Integer aggregator/enumerator
_int - Index support for arrays of int4, using GiST (benchmark
