The buffer overflows, IMHO, are not sufficient reason to release an
update. As Tom pointed out, there are lots of other, unpatched overflows
in 7.2.3 (and the whole class of vulnerability requires SQL access to
begin with).

As for the "WAL recovery bug", AFAIK no such bug has been reported "in
the last few days". Exactly what issue are you referring to?
