  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
  (DBMS).

  The pg_dump utility inserted object names literally into comments in the
  SQL script it produces. An unprivileged database user could create an
  object whose name includes a newline followed by an SQL command. This SQL
  command might then be executed by a privileged user during later restore of
  the backup dump, allowing privilege escalation. (CVE-2012-0868)

  When configured to do SSL certificate verification, PostgreSQL only checked
  the first 31 characters of the certificate's Common Name field. Depending
  on the configuration, this could allow an attacker to impersonate a server
  or a client using a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority issued
  for a different name. (CVE-2012-0867)

  CREATE TRIGGER did not do a permissions check on the trigger function to
  be called. This could possibly allow an authenticated database user to
  call a privileged trigger function on data of their choosing.
  (CVE-2012-0866)

  These updated packages upgrade PostgreSQL to version 8.4.11, which fixes
  these issues as well as several data-corruption issues and lesser
  non-security issues. Refer to the linked PostgreSQL Release Notes for a full list
  of changes.

  All PostgreSQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
  which correct these issues. If the postgresql service is running, it will
  be automatically restarted after installing this update.");
