Alpine: postgresql14: security update to 14.8-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 425741

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - schema_element defeats protective search_path changes; It was found that certain database calls in
 PostgreSQL could permit an authed attacker with elevated database-level privileges to execute arbitrary
 code. (CVE-2023-2454)

 - Row security policies disregard user ID changes after inlining; PostgreSQL could permit incorrect policies
 to be applied in certain cases where role-specific policies are used and a given query is planned under
 one role and then executed under other roles. This scenario can happen under security definer functions or
 when a common user and query is planned initially and then re-used across multiple SET ROLEs. Applying an
 incorrect policy may permit a user to complete otherwise-forbidden reads and modifications. This affects
 only databases that have used CREATE POLICY to define a row security policy. (CVE-2023-2455)
