postgresql-9.2 (9.2.11-1.pgdg+1) unstable; urgency=medium

* New upstream version.

+ Avoid possible crash when client disconnects just before the
authentication timeout expires (Benkocs Norbert Attila)

If the timeout interrupt fired partway through the session shutdown
sequence, SSL-related state would be freed twice, typically causing a
crash and hence denial of service to other sessions. Experimentation
shows that an unauthenticated remote attacker could trigger the bug
somewhat consistently, hence treat as security issue. (CVE-2015-3165)

+ Improve detection of system-call failures (Noah Misch)

Our replacement implementation of snprintf() failed to check for errors
reported by the underlying system library calls; the main case that
might be missed is out-of-memory situations. In the worst case this
might lead to information exposure, due to our code assuming that a
buffer had been overwritten when it hadn't been. Also, there were a few
places in which security-relevant calls of other system library
functions did not check for failure.

It remains possible that some calls of the *printf() family of functions
are vulnerable to information disclosure if an out-of-memory error
occurs at just the wrong time. We judge the risk to not be large, but
will continue analysis in this area. (CVE-2015-3166)

+ In contrib/pgcrypto, uniformly report decryption failures as Wrong key
or corrupt data (Noah Misch)

Previously, some cases of decryption with an incorrect key could report
other error message texts. It has been shown that such variance in
error reports can aid attackers in recovering keys from other systems.
While it's unknown whether pgcrypto's specific behaviors are likewise
exploitable, it seems better to avoid the risk by using a
one-size-fits-all message. (CVE-2015-3167)

* Repository moved to git, update Vcs headers.
