This bug was fixed in the package postgresql-9.1 - 9.1.16-0ubuntu0.14.04

---------------
postgresql-9.1 (9.1.16-0ubuntu0.14.04) trusty-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream security/bug fix release (LP: #1457093)
    - Improve detection of system-call failures
      Our replacement implementation of snprintf() failed to check for errors
      reported by the underlying system library calls; the main case that
      might be missed is out-of-memory situations. In the worst case this
      might lead to information exposure, due to our code assuming that a
      buffer had been overwritten when it hadn't been. Also, there were a few
      places in which security-relevant calls of other system library
      functions did not check for failure.
      It remains possible that some calls of the *printf() family of functions
      are vulnerable to information disclosure if an out-of-memory error
      occurs at just the wrong time.  We judge the risk to not be large, but
      will continue analysis in this area. (CVE-2015-3166)
   - Note: The other vulnerabilities fixed in 9.1.16 don't affect this version
     as we build the PL/Perl package only.

Bug description:
  PostgreSQL will push out new microreleases on Friday, 2015-05-22. The
  tarballs for the updates are not public yet, but the fixes are visible
  in the upstream git, so there's no need to treat this as embargoed,
  but there should still be a coordinated release. These fix a couple of
  security issues, as well as the usual set of bug fixes.
