An update that solves four vulnerabilities can now be installed.

Description:

postgresql93 was updated to version 9.3.6 to fix four security issues.

These security issues were fixed: - CVE-2015-0241: Fix buffer overruns in to_char() (bnc#916953). - CVE-2015-0243: Fix buffer overruns in contrib/pgcrypto (bnc#916953). - CVE-2015-0244: Fix possible loss of frontend/backend protocol synchronization after an error (bnc#916953). - CVE-2014-8161: Fix information leak via constraint-violation error messages (bnc#916953).

This non-security issue was fixed: - Move the server socket from /tmp to /var/run to avoid problems with clients that use PrivateTmp (bnc#888564).
