postgresql-8.3 8.3.9-0ubuntu8.10 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-8.3 (8.3.9-0ubuntu8.10) intrepid-security; urgency=low

  * New upstream security/bug fix release: (LP: #496923)
    - Protect against indirect security threats caused by index functions
      changing session-local state. This change prevents allegedly-immutable
      index functions from possibly subverting a superuser's session
      (CVE-2009-4136).
    - Reject SSL certificates containing an embedded null byte in the
      common name (CN) field. This prevents unintended matching of a
      certificate to a server or client name during SSL validation
      (CVE-2009-4034).
    - Fix possible crash during backend-startup-time cache initialization.
    - Avoid crash on empty thesaurus dictionary.
    - Prevent signals from interrupting VACUUM at unsafe times.
    - Fix possible crash due to integer overflow in hash table size
      calculation.
    - Fix very rare crash in inet/cidr comparisons.
    - Ensure that shared tuple-level locks held by prepared transactions
      are not ignored.
    - Fix premature drop of temporary files used for a cursor that is
      accessed within a subtransaction.
    - Fix memory leak in syslogger process when rotating to a new CSV
      logfile.
    - Fix incorrect logic for GiST index page splits, when the split
      depends on a non-first column of the index.
    - Don't error out if recycling or removing an old WAL file fails at
      the end of checkpoint. It's better to treat the problem as non-fatal and
      allow the checkpoint to complete. Future checkpoints will retry the
      removal.  Such problems are not expected in normal operation, but have
      been seen to be caused by misdesigned Windows anti-virus and backup
      software.
    - Fix PAM password processing to be more robust.
    - Raise the maximum authentication token (Kerberos ticket) size in
      GSSAPI and SSPI authentication methods. While the old 2000-byte limit
      was more than enough for Unix Kerberos implementations, tickets issued
      by Windows Domain Controllers can be much larger.
    - Re-enable collection of access statistics for sequences. This used to
      work but was broken in 8.3.
    - Fix processing of ownership dependencies during CREATE OR REPLACE
      FUNCTION.
    - Fix incorrect handling of WHERE "x"="x" conditions.
      In some cases these could get ignored as redundant, but they aren't
      -- they're equivalent to "x" IS NOT NULL.
    - Make text search parser accept underscores in XML attributes.
    - Fix encoding handling in xml binary input. If the XML header doesn't
      specify an encoding, we now assume UTF-8 by default; the previous
      handling was inconsistent.
    - Fix bug with calling plperl from plperlu or vice versa.
    - Fix session-lifespan memory leak when a PL/Perl function is
      redefined.
    - Ensure that Perl arrays are properly converted to PostgreSQL arrays
      when returned by a set-returning PL/Perl function.
    - Fix rare crash in exception processing in PL/Python.
    - Make the postmaster ignore any application_name parameter in
      connection request packets, to improve compatibility with future
      libpq versions.
