    Package : postgresql-9.1
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-1899 CVE-2013-1900 CVE-2013-1901
    Debian Bug : 704479

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in PostgreSQL database server.

    CVE-2013-1899

    Mitsumasa Kondo and Kyotaro Horiguchi of NTT Open Source Software Center
    discovered that it was possible for a connection request containing a
    database name that begins with "-" to be crafted that can damage or destroy
    files within a server's data directory. Anyone with access to the port the
    PostgreSQL server listens on can initiate this request.

    CVE-2013-1900

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

    CVE-2013-1901

    An unprivileged user could run commands that could interfere with
    in-progress backups

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), postgresql-9.1 is not available. DSA-2657-1 has been released for CVE-2013-1900 affecting posgresql-8.4.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 9.1.9-0wheezy1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
