The PostgreSQL Project today released minor versions updating all active
branches of the PostgreSQL object-relational database system, including
versions 8.3.7, 8.2.13, 8.1.17, 8.0.21 and 7.4.25. This release fixes a
denial of service issue with encoding conversion, and all users should
update their installations at the next reasonable opportunity.
There are also 12 minor fixes contained in these update releases,
including fixes for xpath() functions in version 8.3. See the release
notes for full details.
As with other minor releases, users are not required to dump and reload
their database in order to apply this update release; you may simply
shut down PostgreSQL and update its binaries. Users skipping more than
one update may need to check the release notes for extra, post-update
steps.
