Several vulnerabilities were discovered in PostgreSQL database server.

Mitsumasa Kondo and Kyotaro Horiguchi of NTT Open Source Software Center

files within a server's data directory. Anyone with access to the port the
PostgreSQL server listens on can initiate this request.

Random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be easy for
another database user to guess.

in-progress backups
