---------------
postgresql-9.1 (9.1.19-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream security/bug fix release (LP: #1504132)
    - Fix contrib/pgcrypto to detect and report too-short crypt() salts
      Certain invalid salt arguments crashed the server or disclosed a few
      bytes of server memory. We have not ruled out the viability of attacks
      that arrange for presence of confidential information in the disclosed
      bytes, but they seem unlikely. (CVE-2015-5288)
    - See release notes for details about other fixes.
