   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   This update for postgresql95 fixes the following issues:

   - Update to PostgreSQL 9.5.13:
     * https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/release-9-5-13.html A
       dump/restore is not required for those running 9.5.X. However, if the
       function marking mistakes mentioned belowpg_logfile_rotate affect you,
       you will want to take steps to correct your database catalogs.

       The functions query_to_xml, cursor_to_xml, cursor_to_xmlschema,
   query_to_xmlschema, and query_to_xml_and_xmlschema should be marked
   volatile because they execute user-supplied queries that might contain
   volatile operations. They were not, leading to a risk of incorrect query
   optimization. This has been repaired for new installations by correcting
   the initial catalog data, but existing installations will continue to
   contain the incorrect markings. Practical use of these functions seems to
   pose little hazard, but in case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually
   updating these functions' pg_proc entries, for example: ALTER FUNCTION
   pg_catalog.query_to_xml(text, boolean, boolean, text) VOLATILE. (Note that
   that will need to be done in each database of the installation.) Another
   option is to pg_upgrade the database to a version containing the corrected
   initial data.

   Security issue fixed:

   - CVE-2018-1115: Remove public execute privilege from contrib/adminpack's
     pg_logfile_rotate() function pg_logfile_rotate() is a deprecated wrapper
     for the core function pg_rotate_logfile(). When that function was
     changed to rely on SQL privileges for access control rather than a
     hard-coded superuser check, pg_logfile_rotate() should have been updated
     as well, but the need for this was missed. Hence, if adminpack is
     installed, any user could request a logfile rotation, creating a minor
     security issue. After installing this update, administrators should
     update adminpack by performing ALTER EXTENSION adminpack UPDATE in each
     database in which adminpack is installed. (bsc#1091610)
