Synopsis
The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 8.4.x prior to 8.4.17, 9.0.x prior to 9.0.13, 9.1.x prior to 9.1.9, or 9.2.x prior to 9.2.4.

(CVE-2013-1902)
- Enterprise DB's installers for Linux and Mac OS X pass the database superuser password to a script in an insecure fashion. (CVE-2013-1903)
Solution
