  * CVE-2013-1899: Fix insecure parsing of server
  command-line switches. A connection request containing
  a database name that begins with '-' could be crafted
  to damage or destroy files within the server's data
  directory, even if the request is eventually rejected.

  * CVE-2013-1900: Reset OpenSSL randomness state in each
  postmaster child process. This avoids a scenario wherein
  random numbers generated by 'contrib/pgcrypto' functions
  might be relatively easy for another database user to
  guess. The risk is only significant when the postmaster is
  configured with ssl = on but most connections don't use SSL
  encryption.

  * CVE-2013-1901: Make REPLICATION privilege checks test
  current user not authenticated user. An unprivileged
  database user could exploit this mistake to call
  pg_start_backup() or pg_stop_backup(), thus possibly
  interfering with creation of routine backups.

  * See the referenced release notes for the rest of the changes.");
