postgresql-15 15.6-0ubuntu0.23.10.1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-15 (15.6-0ubuntu0.23.10.1) mantic-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version (LP: #2052850).

    + A dump/restore is not required for those running 15.X.

    + However, one bug was fixed that could have resulted in corruption of
      GIN indexes during concurrent updates.  If you suspect such
      corruption, reindex affected indexes after installing this update.

    + Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 15.5, see
      those release notes as well please.

    + Tighten security restrictions within REFRESH MATERIALIZED
      VIEW CONCURRENTLY (Heikki Linnakangas)

      One step of a concurrent refresh command was run under weak security
      restrictions.  If a materialized view's owner could persuade a
      superuser or other high-privileged user to perform a concurrent
      refresh on that view, the view's owner could control code executed
      with the privileges of the user running REFRESH.
      Fix things so that all user-determined code is run as the view's
      owner, as expected.

      The only known exploit for this error does not work in PostgreSQL
      16.0 and later, so it may be that v16 is not vulnerable in practice.

      The PostgreSQL Project thanks Pedro Gallegos for reporting this
      problem.
      (CVE-2024-0985)

postgresql-15: The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database

 PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a free and open-source relational
 database management system (RDBMS) emphasizing extensibility and SQL
 compliance. It features transactions with Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation,
 Durability (ACID) properties, automatically updatable views, materialized
 views, triggers, foreign keys, and stored procedures. It is designed to handle
 a range of workloads, from single machines to data warehouses or Web services
 with many concurrent users.
