Several vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL, an SQL
database system.

  • CVE-2016-5423
    Karthikeyan Jambu Rajaraman discovered that nested CASE-WHEN
    expressions are not properly evaluated, potentially leading to a
    crash or allowing to disclose portions of server memory.
  • CVE-2016-5424
    Nathan Bossart discovered that special characters in database and
    role names are not properly handled, potentially leading to the
    execution of commands with superuser privileges, when a superuser
    executes pg_dumpall or other routine maintenance operations.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version
9.1.23-0+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-9.1 packages.
