Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2081-01
Posted Nov 19, 2015
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2081-01 - PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system. A memory leak error was discovered in the crypt() function of the pgCrypto extension. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this flaw to disclose a limited amount of the server memory. All PostgreSQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. If the postgresql service is running, it will be automatically restarted after installing this update.
