<para>
44+
This missing check could allow another user to execute a trigger
45+
function with forged input data, by installing it on a table he owns.
46+
This is only of significance for trigger functions marked
47+
<literal>SECURITY DEFINER</>, since otherwise trigger functions run
48+
as the table owner anyway. (CVE-2012-0866)

<para>

<application>pg_dump</> was incautious about sanitizing object names
60+
that are emitted within SQL comments in its output script. A name
61+
containing a newline would at least render the script syntactically
62+
incorrect. Maliciously crafted object names could present a SQL
63+
injection risk when the script is reloaded. (CVE-2012-0868)
