PostgreSQL has been updated to version 8.3.23 which fixes various bugs and one security issue.
The security issue fixed in this release, CVE-2013-0255, allowed a previously authenticated user to crash the server by calling an internal function with invalid arguments. This issue was discovered by independent security researcher Sumit Soni this week and reported via Secunia SVCRP, and we are grateful for their efforts in making PostgreSQL more secure.
