Description:	Summary: Several vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL-9.4, a SQL database system. CVE-2016-0766 A privilege escalation vulnerability for users of PL/Java was discovered. Certain custom configuration settings (GUCs) for PL/Java will now be modifiable only by the database superuser to mitigate this issue. CVE-2016-0773 Tom Lane and Greg Stark discovered a flaw in the way PostgreSQL processes specially crafted regular expressions. Very large character ranges in bracket expressions could cause infinite loops or memory overwrites. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service or, potentially, to execute arbitrary code. Affected Software/OS: postgresql-9.4 on Debian Linux Solution: For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 9.4.6-0+deb8u1.
