An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has three fixes is now available.
Description:
This update delivers PostgreSQL 9.4.5 to the SUSE Linux Enterprise 12
codebase.
Major enhancements:
* Security and bugfix release 9.4.5:
* CVE-2015-5289, bsc#949670: json or jsonb input values constructed from
arbitrary user input can crash the PostgreSQL server and cause a
denial of service.
* CVE-2015-5288, bsc#949669: The crypt() function included with the
optional pgCrypto extension could be exploited to read a few
additional bytes of memory. No working exploit for this issue has been
developed.
* Add jsonb, a more capable and efficient data type for storing JSON data
* Add new SQL command ALTER SYSTEM for changing postgresql.conf
configuration file entries
* Reduce lock strength for some ALTER TABLE commands
* Allow materialized views to be refreshed without blocking concurrent
reads
* Add support for logical decoding of WAL data, to allow database changes
to be streamed out in a customizable format
* Allow background worker processes to be dynamically registered, started
and terminated
* For the full release notse, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-4-5.html
* Move systemd related stuff and user creation to postgresql-init
(bsc#950486)
* Remove some obsolete %suse_version conditionals
* Adjust build time dependencies.
* Fix some more rpmlint warnings.
* Relax dependency on libpq to major version.
* Make sure that plpgsql.h gets installed, because pldebugger needs it.
* Move ~postgres/.bash_profile to postgresql-server to avoid a file
conflict between the versioned server packages.
