server:

CVE-2012-2143
The crypt(text, text) function in the pgcrypto contrib module
did not handle certain passwords correctly, ignoring
characters after the first character which does not fall into
the ASCII range.

CVE-2012-2655
SECURITY DEFINER and SET attributes for a call handler of a
procedural language could crash the database server.

In addition, this update contains reliability and stability fixes from
the 8.4.12 upstream release.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 8.4.12-0squeeze1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 8.4.12-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-8.4 packages.";
