The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including 9.2.1, 9.1.6, 9.0.10, 8.4.14 and 8.3.21. This update fixes critical issues for major versions 9.1 and 9.2, and users running those versions should apply it as soon as possible. Users of versions 8.3, 8.4 and 9.0 should plan to update at the next scheduled downtime. The update fixes two potential data corruption issues present in the PostgreSQL 9.1 and 9.2 for any server which has crashed, been shutdown with "immediate", or was failed over to a standby. First, the PostgreSQL development team has discovered a chance of corruption of BTREE and GIN indexes for databases. Second, there is a significant chance of corruption of the visibility map. This update fixes both issues. Packages in Mageia 2 and Mageia 1 has been updated to fix the issues and to provide other bug fixes to older branches of PostgreSQL.
Testing on Mageia 2 i586.
