Package: postgresql
Version: 8.4.22-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

Changelog for this package contains:

...
  * Add 20-column_privilege_leak.patch:
    Fix information leak via constraint-violation error messages
    [CVE-2014-8161]
...

But there is no such patch file.

See:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/197335367/postgresql-8.4_8.4.22-0ubuntu0.10.04_8.4.22-0ubuntu0.10.04.1.diff.gz

I think that means that CVE-2014-8161 is not fixed in this version.

Argh, indeed I forgot to remove the changelog entry for that patch,
after deciding that backporting is too risky. However, this does not
affect Debian in any way, thus closing this Debian bug.

Thanks for pointing out!
