Synopsis: Important: postgresql security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:0346-1
Issue Date: 2016-03-02
CVE Numbers: CVE-2016-0773
--

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in the PostgreSQL handling code for regular expressions. A remote
attacker could use a specially crafted regular expression to cause
PostgreSQL to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0773)

If the postgresql service is running, it will be automatically restarted
after installing this update.
