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.
