Noah Misch and Jonas Sundman discovered that PostgreSQL did not correctly enforce ADMIN OPTION restrictions. An authenticated attacker could use this issue to possibly revoke access from others, contrary to expected permissions. (CVE-2014-0060)

Andres Freund discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled validator functions. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2014-0061)

Andres Freund discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled concurrent CREATE INDEX statements. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain access to restricted data, bypassing intended privileges. (CVE-2014-0062)

Daniel Schussler discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled datetime input. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PostgreSQL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0063)

It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled certain size calculations. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PostgreSQL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0064)

Peter Eisentraut and Jozef Mlich discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled certain buffer sizes. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PostgreSQL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2014-0065)

Honza Horak discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly used the crypt() library function. This issue could possibly cause PostgreSQL to crash, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2014-0066).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
