NEW XORG ON FREEBSD 9-STABLE AND 10-STABLE
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.
This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
as some drivers and utilities.
Bump portrevisions for xf86-* ports, as well as virtualbox-ose-additions due
to xserver version change.
Apart from these updates, the way shared libraries are handled has been
changed for all xorg ports, as well as libxml2 and freetype, which means
ltverhack is gone and as a consequence shared libraries have been bumped.
The plan is that this change will make library bumps less likely in the
future.
All affected ports have had their portrevisions bumped as a consequence of
this.
Fix some issues where WITH_NEW_XORG weren't detected properly on CURRENT.
Update instructions, hardware support, and more notes can be found on

version of the database system, including versions 9.3.4, 9.2.8, 9.1.13,
9.0.17, and 8.4.21. This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with
replication and crash recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor
issues in all versions. All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their
installations at the next possible downtime. Users of older versions should
update at their convenience.
The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication
standbys, servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and
standalone servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes
unrecoverable index corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row
locking operations. This can then cause query results to be inconsistent
depending on whether or not an index is used, and eventually lead to primary
key violations and similar issues. For this reason, users are encouraged to
replace each of their standby databases with a new base backup after applying
the update.
See release notes for more changes.

A change specific to the FreeBSD port:
Modify the contrib/uuid-ossp to actually work (not crashing the backend) by
using the libc implementation of uuid instead of the ossp port. Schemas and
queries will just work. Based on the work of Andrew Gierth. 9.1+ EXTENSION
support added by girgen@.

update to all supported versions of the PostgreSQL database system,
which includes minor versions 9.3.3, 9.2.7, 9.1.12, 9.0.16, and
8.4.20. This update contains fixes for multiple security issues, as
well as several fixes for replication and data integrity issues. All
users are urged to update their installations at the earliest
opportunity, especially those using binary replication or running a
high-security application.
This update fixes CVE-2014-0060, in which PostgreSQL did not properly
enforce the WITH ADMIN OPTION permission for ROLE management. Before
this fix, any member of a ROLE was able to grant others access to the
same ROLE regardless if the member was given the WITH ADMIN OPTION
permission. It also fixes multiple privilege escalation issues,
including: CVE-2014-0061, CVE-2014-0062, CVE-2014-0063, CVE-2014-0064,
CVE-2014-0065, and CVE-2014-0066. More information on these issues can
be found on our security page and the security issue detail wiki page.

to all supported versions of the PostgreSQL database system, which
includes minor versions 9.3.2, 9.2.6, 9.1.11, 9.0.15, and 8.4.19. This
update fixes three serious data-loss bugs affecting replication and
database maintenance. All users are urged to update their
installations at the earliest opportunity.

Note that users of the hstore extension on version 9.3 must take an additional,
post upgrade step of running "ALTER EXTENSION hstore UPDATE" in each database
after update.

This update fixes a denial-of-service (DOS) vulnerability. All users
should update their PostgreSQL installations as soon as possible.
The security issue fixed in this release, CVE-2013-0255, allows a
previously authenticated user to crash the server by calling
an internal function with invalid arguments.

versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.2.2, 9.1.7,
9.0.11, 8.4.15, and 8.3.22. Users of PostgreSQL Hot Standby replication
should update at the next possible opportunity. Other users should update
at their next maintenance window.
Deprecate the 8.3.22 version, since it is near end-of-life.

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.

of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.1.5, 9.0.9, 8.4.13 and 8.3.20. This
update patches security holes associated with libxml2 and libxslt, similar to those affecting
other open source projects. All users are urged to update their installations at the first
available opportunity.
This security release fixes a vulnerability in the built-in XML functionality, and a vulnerability
in the XSLT functionality supplied by the optional XML2 extension. Both vulnerabilities allow
reading of arbitrary files by any authenticated database user, and the XSLT vulnerability
allows writing files as well. The fixes cause limited backwards compatibility issues.
These issues correspond to the following two vulnerabilities:
CVE-2012-3488: PostgreSQL insecure use of libxslt
CVE-2012-3489: PostgreSQL insecure use of libxml2
This release also contains several fixes to version 9.1, and a smaller number of fixes to older versions, including:
Updates and corrections to time zone data
Multiple documentation updates and corrections
Add limit on max_wal_senders
Fix dependencies generated during ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX.
Correct behavior of unicode conversions for PL/Python
Fix WITH attached to a nested set operation (UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT).
Fix syslogger so that log_truncate_on_rotation works in the first rotation.
Only allow autovacuum to be auto-canceled by a directly blocked process.
Improve fsync request queue operation
Prevent corner-case core dump in rfree().
Fix Walsender so that it responds correctly to timeouts and deadlocks
Several PL/Perl fixes for encoding-related issues
Make selectivity operators use the correct collation
Prevent unsuitable slaves from being selected for synchronous replication
Make REASSIGN OWNED work on extensions as well
Fix race condition with ENUM comparisons
Make NOTIFY cope with out-of-disk-space
Fix memory leak in ARRAY subselect queries
Reduce data loss at replication failover
Fix behavior of subtransactions with Hot Standby
active branches of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.1.4,
9.0.8, 8.4.12 and 8.3.19.
Users of the crypt(text, text) function with DES encryption in the optional
pg_crypto module should upgrade their installations immediately, if you have'nt
already updated since the port was patched on May 30. All other database
administrators are urged to upgrade your version of PostgreSQL at the
next scheduled downtime.
