- CVE-2016-0766
A privilege escalation vulnerability for users of
PL/Java was discovered. Certain custom configuration
settings (GUCs) for PL/Java will now be modifiable only
by the database superuser to mitigate this issue.
- CVE-2016-0773
Tom Lane and Greg Stark discovered a flaw in the way
PostgreSQL processes specially crafted regular
expressions. Very large character ranges in bracket
expressions could cause infinite loops or memory
overwrites. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service or, potentially, to execute
arbitrary code."
