Package description:
postgresql
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including transactions,
subselects and user-defined types and functions). The postgresql package
includes the client programs and libraries that you'll need to access
a PostgreSQL DBMS server. These PostgreSQL client programs are programs
that directly manipulate the internal structure of PostgreSQL databases
on a PostgreSQL server. These client programs can be located on the
same machine with the PostgreSQL server, or may be on a remote machine
which accesses a PostgreSQL server over a network connection. This
package contains the docs in HTML for the whole package, as well as
command-line utilities for managing PostgreSQL databases on a
PostgreSQL server.

Problem description:
postgresql < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 >

• New Upstream.
• SECURITY Fix: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in PostgreSQL,
  which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (SA22562).
• An incorrect type check before coercing unknown literals into the
  ANYARRY type can be exploited to cause a crash when converting
  certain literals into ANYARRAY.
• An error exists within the handling of aggregate functions in UPDATE
  statements, which can be exploited to crash the server backend.
• An error within the logging of V3-protocol execute messages of
  ROLLBACK or COMMIT statements can be exploited to cause a crash.

Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
