system. It supports a large part of the SQL standard and is designed
to be extensible by users in many aspects. Some of the features are:
ACID transactions, foreign keys, views, sequences, subqueries,
triggers, user-defined types and functions, outer joins, multiversion
concurrency control. Graphical user interfaces and bindings for many
programming languages are available as well.";

version 8.4.17-0squeeze1.

For the testing (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid), postgresql-8.4
packages have been removed; in those, this problem has been fixed in
postgresql-9.1 9.1.9-0wheezy1 (wheezy), and 9.1.9-1 (sid) respectively.

Note: postgresql-8.4 in Squeeze is not affected by CVE-2013-1899 (database files corruption) and CVE-2013-1901 

(unprivileged user can interfere with in-progress backups).

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