Update to latest versions of PostgreSQL

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 10.1, 9.6.6, 9.5.10, 9.4.15, 9.3.20,
and 9.2.24. This release fixes three security issues. This release also fixes
issues found in BRIN indexing, logical replication and other bugs reported over
the past three months.

Please note that the CVE-2017-12172 does not affect the FreeBSD port unless you
decided to not use the contrib/startscript instead of the startscript
distributed with the FreeBSD port/package.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all
supported versions of our database system, including 9.6.5, 9.5.9,
9.4.14, 9.3.19, and 9.2.23.

This release includes fixes that prevent a crash in pg_restore when
using parallel mode. It also patches over a few other bugs reported
since the last releases in August.

Additionally, in 9.4.14 only, there is a fix to an issue with walsenders
preventing primary-server shutdown unless immediate shutdown mode is used.

Users should plan to update at the next convenient downtime.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes a number of bugs reported in the last few weeks.
Some of these issues affect only version 9.6, but many affect all
supported versions:

* Show foreign tables in information_schema.table_privileges view.
This fix applies to new databases, see the release notes for the
procedure to apply the fix to an existing database.
* Correctly identify columns that are of a range type or domain type
over a composite type or domain type being searched for
* Prevent crash when passing fixed-length pass-by-reference data types
to parallel worker processes
* Change ecpg's parser to allow RETURNING clauses without attached C
variables
* Change ecpg's parser to recognize backslash continuation of C
preprocessor command lines
* Improve selection of compiler flags for PL/Perl on Windows

PostgreSQL 9.6.2, 9.5.6, 9.4.11, 9.3.16 and 9.2.20 released!

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 9.6.2, 9.5.6, 9.4.11, 9.3.16, and
9.2.20. This release includes fixes that prevent data corruption issues in
index builds and in certain write-ahead-log replay situations, which are
detailed below. It also patches over 75 other bugs reported over the last three
months.

Users should plan to apply this update at the next scheduled downtime.

Build corruption with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY

There existed a race condition if CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY was called on a
column that had not been indexed before, then rows that were updated by
transactions running at the same time as the CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY command
could have been indexed incorrectly.

If you suspect this may have happened, the most reliable solution is to rebuild
affected indexes after installing this update.

This issue is present in the 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6 series of PostgreSQL.

This issue is critical for PostgreSQL systems with untrusted users or which

Data Corruption Fix

For users of PostgreSQL versions 9.3 or 9.4, this release fixes a problem where
the database will fail to protect against "multixact wraparound", resulting in
data corruption or loss. Users with a high transaction rate (1 million or more
per hour) in a database with many foreign keys are especially vulnerable. We
strongly urge all users of 9.4 and 9.3 to update their installations in the
next few days.

Users of versions 9.2 and earlier are not affected by this issue.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
version of the database system, including versions 9.3.4, 9.2.8, 9.1.13,
9.0.17, and 8.4.21. This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with
replication and crash recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor
issues in all versions.  All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their
installations at the next possible downtime.  Users of older versions should
update at their convenience.

The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication
standbys, servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and
standalone servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes
unrecoverable index corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row
locking operations.  This can then cause query results to be inconsistent
depending on whether or not an index is used, and eventually lead to primary
key violations and similar issues.  For this reason, users are encouraged to
replace each of their standby databases with a new base backup after applying
the update.

See release notes for more changes.

update to all supported versions of the PostgreSQL database system,
which includes minor versions 9.3.3, 9.2.7, 9.1.12, 9.0.16, and

well as several fixes for replication and data integrity issues.  All
users are urged to update their installations at the earliest
opportunity, especially those using binary replication or running a
high-security application.

This update fixes CVE-2014-0060, in which PostgreSQL did not properly
enforce the WITH ADMIN OPTION permission for ROLE management. Before
this fix, any member of a ROLE was able to grant others access to the
same ROLE regardless if the member was given the WITH ADMIN OPTION
permission. It also fixes multiple privilege escalation issues,

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security
update to all current versions of the PostgreSQL database system,
including versions 9.2.4, 9.1.9, 9.0.13, and 8.4.17. This update
fixes a high-exposure security vulnerability in versions 9.0 and
later. All users of the affected versions are strongly urged to apply
the update *immediately*.

A major security issue (for versions 9.x only) fixed in this release,
[CVE-2013-1899](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1899),
makes it possible for a connection request containing a database name
that begins with "-" to be crafted that can damage or destroy files
within a server's data directory. Anyone with access to the port the
PostgreSQL server listens on can initiate this request. This issue was
discovered by Mitsumasa Kondo and Kyotaro Horiguchi of NTT Open Source
Software Center.

Two lesser security fixes are also included in this release:
[CVE-2013-1900](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1900),
wherein random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be
easy for another database user to guess (all versions), and
[CVE-2013-1901](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1901),
which mistakenly allows an unprivileged user to run commands that
could interfere with in-progress backups (for versions 9.x only).
