An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

PostgreSQL was updated to 9.6.9 fixing bugs and security issues:

Release notes:

– https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1851/
– https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-6-9.html

A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.6.X. However, if you
use the adminpack extension, you should update it as per the first
changelog entry below. Also, if the function marking mistakes mentioned in
the second and third changelog entries below affect you, you will want to
take steps to correct your database catalogs.

Security issue fixed:

– CVE-2018-1115: Remove public execute privilege from contrib/adminpack’s
pg_logfile_rotate() function pg_logfile_rotate() is a deprecated wrapper
for the core function pg_rotate_logfile(). When that function was
changed to rely on SQL privileges for access control rather than a
hard-coded superuser check, pg_logfile_rotate() should have been updated
as well, but the need for this was missed. Hence, if adminpack is
installed, any user could request a logfile rotation, creating a minor
security issue. After installing this update, administrators should
update adminpack by performing ALTER EXTENSION adminpack UPDATE in each
database in which adminpack is installed. (bsc#1091610)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.
