  - A flaw exists that is triggered when a query plan is
    incorrectly reused for more than one ROLE within the
    same session. An authenticated, remote attacker can
    exploit this to cause an incorrect set of Row Level
    Security (RLS) policies to be used for the query.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists within file
    contrib/pageinspect/brinfuncs.c when certain functions
    in the pageinspect extension are used with BRIN index
    pages. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit
    this, via contrived 'bytea' values, to crash the server
    or disclose a small amount of server memory.

Security Fixes for RLS, BRIN

This release closes security hole CVE-2016-2193
(https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-2193), where a query
plan might get reused for more than one ROLE in the same session. This
could cause the wrong set of Row Level Security (RLS) policies to be
used for the query.

The update also fixes CVE-2016-3065
(https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-3065), a server crash
bug triggered by using `pageinspect` with BRIN index pages. Since an
attacker might be able to expose a few bytes of server memory, this
crash is being treated as a security issue."
