-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-2927 2009-03-23 15:16:15 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : postgresql Product : Fedora 9 Version : 8.3.7 Release : 1.fc9 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 <t...@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 <oli...@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 <t...@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 <den...@ausil.us> 8.3.5-1.1 - use -O1 on sparc64 * Sun Nov 2 2008 Tom Lane <t...@redhat.com> 8.3.5-1 - Update to PostgreSQL 8.3.5. - Improve display from init script's initdb action, per Michael Schwendt * Thu Sep 25 2008 Tom Lane <t...@redhat.com> 8.3.4-1 - Update to PostgreSQL 8.3.4. * Fri Jun 20 2008 Tom Lane <t...@redhat.com> 8.3.3-2 - Install Pgtcl in /usr/lib/tcl$TCL_VERSION, not directly in /usr/lib. Needed because tcl 8.5 no longer puts /usr/lib into its package search path. NOTE: do not back-port this change into branches using pre-8.5 tcl, because /usr/lib/tcl8.4 had been a symlink to /usr/share/tcl8.4, and /usr/share is exactly where we must not put Pgtcl. Resolves: #228263 * Wed Jun 11 2008 Tom Lane <t...@redhat.com> 8.3.3-1 - Update to PostgreSQL 8.3.3. - Remove postgresql-prefer-ncurses.patch, no longer needed in recent Fedora releases because libtermcap is gone. - Enable LDAP support Resolves: #445315 - Use -Wl,--as-needed to suppress bogus dependencies for libraries that are really only needed by some of the subpackages - Clean up cross-subpackage Requires: to ensure that updating any one subpackage brings in the matching versions of others. Resolves: #444271 * Thu May 22 2008 Dennis Gilmore <den...@ausil.us> 8.3.1-2 - at Tom's request remove conditionalised patch letting sparc64 builds fail * Thu May 22 2008 Dennis Gilmore <den...@ausil.us> 8.3.1-2 - apply patch on sparc64 only to cover differences in output - filed upstream as bug #4190 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
