The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all
supported versions of our database system, including 12.2, 11.7, 10.12,
9.6.17, 9.5.21, and 9.4.26. This release fixes one security issue found
in the PostgreSQL server and over 75 bugs reported over the last three
months.

Users should plan to update as soon as possible.

PostgreSQL 9.4 Now EOL

This is the last release for PostgreSQL 9.4, which will no longer
receive security updates and bug fixes. PostgreSQL 9.4 introduced new
features such as JSONB support, the `ALTER SYSTEM` command, the ability
to stream logical changes to an output plugin, and more:

Upgrade PostgreSQL

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all
supported versions of our database system, including 12.1, 11.6, 10.11,
9.6.16, 9.5.20, and 9.4.25. This release fixes over 50 bugs reported
over the last three months.

PostgreSQL 9.4 will stop receiving fixes on February 13, 2020, which is
the next planned cumulative update release. We suggest that you make
plans to upgrade to a newer, supported version of PostgreSQL. Please see
our versioning policy for more information:

This update also fixes over 50 bugs that were reported in the last
several months. Some of these issues affect only version 12, but may
also affect all supported versions.

Specific change to the FreeBSD port:
Starting now, the default for TZDATA has changed to using the underlying OS'
time zone database instead of the one built in to PostgreSQL. This change is
made since PostgreSQL will not release a patch in the event where the time zone
database changes, whereas FreeBSD will.

Upgrade PostgreSQL to latest version

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 11.4, 10.9, 9.6.14, 9.5.18, and
9.4.23, as well as the second beta of PostgreSQL 12. This release fixes one
security issue and over 25 bugs since the previous cumulative update in May.

This release is made outside of the normal update release schedule as the
security vulnerability was determined to be critical enough to distribute the
fix as quickly as possible. Users who are running PostgreSQL 10, PostgreSQL 11,
or the PostgreSQL 12 beta should upgrade as soon as possible.

All other users should plan to apply this update at the next scheduled
downtime.

that may be required if you are using pg_stat_statements in your installation.

This update is also the final release for PostgreSQL 9.3, which is now
end-of-life and will no longer receive any bug or security fixes. If your
environment still uses PostgreSQL 9.3, please make plans to update to a
community supported version as soon as possible. Please see our versioning

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including 10.3, 9.6.8, 9.5.12,
9.4.17, and 9.3.22.

The purpose of this release is to address CVE-2018-1058, which describes how a
user can create like-named objects in different schemas that can change the
behavior of other users' queries and cause unexpected or malicious behavior,
also known as a "trojan-horse" attack. Most of this release centers around added
documentation that describes the issue and how to take steps to mitigate the
impact on PostgreSQL databases.

We strongly encourage all of our users to please visit
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/A_Guide_to_CVE-2018-1058:_Protect_Your_Search_Path
for a detailed explanation of CVE-2018-1058 and how to protect your PostgreSQL
installations.

After evaluating the documentation for CVE-2018-1058, a database administrator
may need to take follow up steps on their PostgreSQL installations to ensure
they are protected from exploitation.

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.

Security Fixes for Regular Expressions, PL/Java

This release closes security hole CVE-2016-0773, an issue with regular
expression (regex) parsing. Prior code allowed users to pass in expressions
which included out-of-range Unicode characters, triggering a backend crash.
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.

Update PostgreSQL-9.x to latests versions.

This update fixes multiple security issues reported in PostgreSQL over the past

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announced that the first beta
release of PostgreSQL 9.4, the latest version of the world's leading
open source database, is available today.  This beta contains previews
of all of the features which will be available in version 9.4, and is
ready for testing by the worldwide PostgreSQL community.  Please
download, test, and report what you find.

Major Features
--------------

The new major features available for testing in this beta include:

* JSONB: 9.4 includes the new JSONB "binary JSON" type. This new
  storage format for document data is higher-performance, and comes with
  indexing, functions and operators for manipulating JSON data.
* Replication: The new Data Change Streaming API allows decoding and
  transformation of the replication stream.  This lays the foundation
  for new replication tools that support high-speed and more flexible
  replication and scale-out solutions.
* Materialized Views with "Refresh Concurrently", which permit
  fast-response background summary reports for complex data.
* ALTER SYSTEM SET, which enables modifications to postgresql.conf
  from the SQL command line and from remote clients, easing
  administration tasks.
