The PostgreSQL development team has published updates for all actively supported branches of its open source relational database to fix bugs and close security holes found in the previous releases.

Thanks J65nko !
how should a wise decision be like , as far as the OpenBSD user is concerned ?
other than removing the package of course ..
I read many security alerts but what to do accordingly is something I find myself lacking most of the time ..

• Wait for the port to be updated. At that time, dump all tables using the PostgreSQL specific tools for dumping, not OpenBSD's dump(8) utility.
• Once all tables have been backed up, update the package/port.
• Restore all table data using the PostgreSQL restore command, not OpenBSD's restore(8).
