> If a password string contained the byte value <TT

remainder of the password was ignored, causing the password to be much
weaker than it appeared. With this fix, the rest of the string is
properly included in the DES hash. Any stored password values that are
affected by this bug will thus no longer match, so the stored values may
need to be updated. (CVE-2012-2143)

nullable side of an outer join of the surrounding query.
In 9.1, queries affected by this bug would fail with <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"ERROR:
Upper-level PlaceHolderVar found where not expected"</SPAN
>. But in 9.0 and
8.4, you'd silently get possibly-wrong answers, since the value
transmitted into the subquery wouldn't go to null when it should.

needed during session start would trigger the synchronized-scan logic,
causing it to take many times longer than normal. The problem was
particularly acute if many new sessions were starting at once.

Moncure)

would not respond to interrupts meanwhile.

in the same query could be accepted at an unsafe time, with
unpredictable but not good consequences.

> Show whole-row variables safely when printing views or rules
(Abbas Butt, Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> Corner cases involving ambiguous names (that is, the name could be
either a table or column name of the query) were printed in an
ambiguous way, risking that the view or rule would be interpreted
differently after dump and reload. Avoid the ambiguous case by
attaching a no-op cast.
