Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'postgresql92, postgresql93, postgresql94' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2016-747 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL server handled certain SQL statements containing CASE/WHEN commands. A remote, authenticated attacker could use a specially crafted SQL statement to cause PostgreSQL to crash or disclose a few bytes of server memory or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5423) A flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL client programs handled database and role names containing newlines, carriage returns, double quotes, or backslashes.

(CVE-2016-5424) Affected Software/OS: 'postgresql92, postgresql93, postgresql94' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s).
