The PostgreSQL homepage has a big announcement saying
"PostgreSQL minor versions released!", including a mention of a
"security issue";
unfortunately it's not obvious that this is for the prior 9.2.3 release and as
the announcement of the upcoming security release
( http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1454/ ) does not mention the
new release number, methinks there is plenty of room for confusion :(
It might be an idea to update the "splash box" with details of the upcoming
release.
