    These security issues were fixed:
    - CVE-2015-0241: Fix buffer overruns in to_char() (bnc#916953).
    - CVE-2015-0243: Fix buffer overruns in contrib/pgcrypto (bnc#916953).
    - CVE-2015-0244: Fix possible loss of frontend/backend protocol
    synchronization after an error (bnc#916953).

    messages (bnc#916953).

    This non-security issue was fixed:
    - Move the server socket from /tmp to /var/run to avoid problems with
    clients that use PrivateTmp (bnc#888564).
