PostgreSQL 7.2.3 Released [LWN.net]

Version 7.2.3 of PostgreSQL has been released. "In order to address a potentially critical bug in the VACUUM code, the PostgreSQL Global Development Group is releasing v7.2.3 of PostgreSQL. This release includes a fix for a serious problem that has affected all 7.2.* releases: if a VACUUM command is run by a non-superuser, it is sometimes possible for the system to prematurely remove old transaction log data (pg_clog files). This can result in data becoming unrecoverable. All 7.2.* installations are urged to update to 7.2.3 as soon as possible."
