Summary
postgresql-9.5 vulnerability
Details

USN-6656-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in PostgreSQL. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled dropping privileges when handling REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY commands. If a user or automatic system were tricked into running a specially crafted command, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary SQL functions.
