Require execute permission on the trigger function for
<command>CREATE TRIGGER</> (Robert Haas)
</para>
<para>
This missing check could allow another user to execute a trigger
function with forged input data, by installing it on a table he owns.
This is only of significance for trigger functions marked
<literal>SECURITY DEFINER</>, since otherwise trigger functions run
as the table owner anyway. (CVE-2012-0866)

Convert newlines to spaces in names written in <application>pg_dump</>
comments (Robert Haas)
</para>
<para>
<application>pg_dump</> was incautious about sanitizing object names
that are emitted within SQL comments in its output script. A name
containing a newline would at least render the script syntactically
incorrect. Maliciously crafted object names could present a SQL
injection risk when the script is reloaded. (CVE-2012-0868)
