Dist Opensuse Esm H88
An important patch for PostgreSQL version 9.6.9 has been issued, which resolves a significant security weakness in openSUSE.
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description

PostgreSQL was updated to 9.6.9 fixing bugs and security issues:

Release notes:

- https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-104-969-9513-9418-and-9323-released-1851/

- https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/release-9-6-9.html

A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.6.X. However, if you

use the adminpack extension, you should update it as per the first

changelog entry below. Also, if the function marking mistakes mentioned in

the second and third changelog entries below affect you, you will want to

take steps to correct your database catalogs.

Security issue fixed:

- CVE-2018-1115: Remove public execute privilege from contrib/adminpack's

pg_logfile_rotate() function pg_logfile_rotate() is a deprecated wrapper

for the core function pg_rotate_logfile(). When that function was

changed to rely on SQL privileges for access control rather than a

hard-coded superuser check, pg_logfile_rotate() should have been updated
