postgresql-16 16.3-1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-16 (16.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version.

    + Restrict visibility of pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs entries to
      the table owner (Nathan Bossart)

      These views failed to hide statistics for expressions that involve
      columns the accessing user does not have permission to read.  View
      columns such as most_common_vals might expose security-relevant data.
      The potential interactions here are not fully clear, so in the interest
      of erring on the side of safety, make rows in these views visible only
      to the owner of the associated table.

      The PostgreSQL Project thanks Lukas Fittl for reporting this problem.
      (CVE-2024-4317)

      By itself, this fix will only fix the behavior in newly initdb'd
      database clusters.  If you wish to apply this change in an existing
      cluster, you will need to do the following:

        In each database of the cluster, run the fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql script
        as superuser. In psql this would look like
          \i /usr/share/postgresql/16/fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql
        Any error probably indicates that you've used the wrong script
        version.  It will not hurt to run the script more than once.

        Do not forget to include the template0 and template1 databases, or the
        vulnerability will still exist in databases you create later.  To fix
        template0, you'll need to temporarily make it accept connections.  Do
        that with
          ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS true;
        and then after fixing template0, undo it with
          ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS false;

 database backend.
 .

postgresql-16: 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.
 .
 This package provides the database server for PostgreSQL 16.

 This is the client package for PostgreSQL 16. If you install
 PostgreSQL 16 on a standalone machine, you need the server package
 postgresql-16, too. On a network, you can install this package on
 many client machines, while the server package may be installed on
 only one machine.
