Thanks for the pointer!


Here's the 9.1 text:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-3269-1                   security at debian.org

Package        : postgresql-9.1
CVE ID         : CVE-2015-3165 CVE-2015-3166 CVE-2015-3167

Several vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL-9.1, a SQL
database system.

CVE-2015-3165: Remote crash
SSL clients disconnecting just before the authentication timeout
expires can cause the server to crash.

CVE-2015-3166: Information exposure
The replacement implementation of snprintf() failed to check for
errors reported by the underlying system library calls; the main case
that might be missed is out-of-memory situations. In the worst case
this might lead to information exposure.

CVE-2015-3167: Possible side-channel key exposure
In contrib/pgcrypto, some cases of decryption with an incorrect key
could report other error message texts. Fix by using a
one-size-fits-all message.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been
fixed in version 9.1.16-0+deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed
in version 9.1.16-0+deb8u1. (Jessie contains a reduced postgresql-9.1
package; only CVE-2015-3166 is fixed here. We recommend to upgrade to
postgresql-9.4 to get the full set of fixes. See the Jessie release
notes for details.)

The testing and unstable distribution (strech, sid) do not contain the
postgresql-9.1 package.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-9.1 packages.
