Topics Covered
Summary
It was discovered that the pg_ctlcluster, pg_createcluster and
pg_upgradecluster commands handled symbolic links insecurely which
could result in local denial of service by overwriting arbitrary
files.
For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
134wheezy6.
We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-common packages.
