Something which affects us all... http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1456/
>From the article: "The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security update to all current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.2.4, 9.1.9, 9.0.13, and 8.4.17. This update fixes a high-exposure security vulnerability in versions 9.0 and later. All users of the affected versions are strongly urged to apply the update immediately. "A major security issue fixed in this release, CVE-2013-1899, makes it 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. This issue was discovered by Mitsumasa Kondo and Kyotaro Horiguchi of NTT Open Source Software Center." The PostgreSQL developers have been working with various Linux distributions before disclosing the vulnerability, so updated packages should be available shortly if they are not already in your distribution's repository. Consider upgrading immediately, *especially* if your OpenERP database is hosted remotely. -- Brendan Clune Information Technology Logic Supply, Inc.
