Description:
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.
Note! Upstream info states:
We strongly advise users of 9.1 and 9.2 to run VACUUM and/or index rebuilds
after applying the update. Please see the 2012-09-24 Update wiki page for
detailed instructions. (see more on the referenced page)
