A security vulnerability and a data loss bug have been found in
postgresql-common, Debian's PostgreSQL database cluster management
tools.

CVE-2016-1255

Dawid Golunski discovered that a symlink in /var/log/postgresql/
could be used by the "postgres" system user to write to arbitrary
files on the filesystem the next time PostgreSQL is started by
root.

#614374

RafaΕ‚ Kupka discovered that pg_upgradecluster did not properly
upgrade databases that are owned by a non-login role (or group).

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-common packages.
