Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for postgresql-8.4 which fixed the
following security problem:

CVE-2010-3433
The PL/perl and PL/Tcl implementations in PostgreSQL 7.4 before 7.4.30,
8.0 before 8.0.26, 8.1 before 8.1.22, 8.2 before 8.2.18, 8.3 before
8.3.12, 8.4 before 8.4.5, and 9.0 before 9.0.1 do not properly protect
script execution by a different SQL user identity within the same
session, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via
crafted script code in a SECURITY DEFINER function, as demonstrated by
(1) redefining standard functions or (2) redefining operators, a
different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1168, CVE-2010-1169,
CVE-2010-1170, and CVE-2010-1447.

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-3433

For the lenny-backports distribution, the problem has been fixed in
version 1.8.5-1~bpo50+1.

For the current testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distributions, the
problem has been fixed in version 1.8.5-1.

Upgrade instructions


If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the package
manually via "apt-get -t lenny-backports install <packagelist>" with
the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.
[1] <http://backports.debian.org/Instructions&gt;

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new
versions of installed backports will be installed automatically.
