Upgrade RHEL:6 postgresql-docs to version 0:8.4.9-1.el6_1.1 or higher.

NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql-docs package and not the postgresql-docs package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
crypt_blowfish before 1.1, as used in PHP before 5.3.7 on certain platforms, PostgreSQL before 8.4.9, and other products, does not properly handle 8-bit characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine a cleartext password by leveraging knowledge of a password hash.
