    Benkocs Norbert Attila discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled authentication timeouts. A remote
    attacker could use this flaw to cause the unauthenticated session to crash, possibly leading to a security
    issue. (CVE-2015-3165)

    Noah Misch discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled certain standard library function return values,
    possibly leading to security issues. (CVE-2015-3166)

    Noah Misch discovered that the pgcrypto function could return different error messages when decrypting
    using an incorrect key, possibly leading to a security issue. (CVE-2015-3167)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
