postgresql was updated to version 9.2.4 (bnc#812525) :
CVE-2013-1899: Fix insecure parsing of server command-line switches. A connection request containing a database name that begins with โ-โ could be crafted to damage or destroy files within the serverโs data directory, even if the request is eventually rejected.
CVE-2013-1900: Reset OpenSSL randomness state in each postmaster child process. This avoids a scenario wherein random numbers generated by โcontrib/pgcryptoโ 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 donโt use SSL encryption.
CVE-2013-1901: 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.
