There is a list of the changes in each release in the Release Notes. In 
this case, you want: 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-1-4

For this particular case there are also other docs: see 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.48

Essentially the security issues are related to uses of multi-byte encodings.
