* 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.");
