-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-2959 2009-03-23 15:16:59 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : postgresql Product : Fedora 10 Version : 8.3.7 Release : 1.fc10 URL : http://www.postgresql.org/ Summary : PostgreSQL client programs and libraries 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 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 PostgreSQL 8.3.7, for various fixes described at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/release-8-3-7.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Mar 21 2009 Tom Lane <tgl@redhat.com> 8.3.7-1 - Update to PostgreSQL 8.3.7, for various fixes described at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/release-8-3-7.html notably the fix for CVE-2009-0922 * Mon Mar 9 2009 Oliver Falk <oliver@linux-kernel.at> 8.3.6-2 - Use -O1 on alpha, as on sparc64 - Renable selftests on alpha again * Sat Feb 7 2009 Tom Lane <tgl@redhat.com> 8.3.6-1 - Update to PostgreSQL 8.3.6, for various fixes described at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/release-8-3-6.html * Wed Jan 21 2009 Dennis Gilmore <dennis@ausil.us> 8.3.5-1.1 - use -O1 on sparc64 * Sun Nov 2 2008 Tom Lane <tgl@redhat.com> 8.3.5-1 - Update to PostgreSQL 8.3.5. - Improve display from init script's initdb action, per Michael Schwendt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #488156 - CVE-2009-0922 postgresql: potential DoS due to conversion functions https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488156 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
