Alpine: multiple postgresql16 packages: security update to 16.10-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 433373

Description

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

- PostgreSQL optimizer statistics allow a user to read sampled data within a view that the user cannot
access. Separately, statistics allow a user to read sampled data that a row security policy intended to
hide. PostgreSQL maintains statistics for tables by sampling data available in columns; this data is
consulted during the query planning process. Prior to this release, a user could craft a leaky operator
that bypassed view access control lists (ACLs) and bypassed row security policies in partitioning or table
inheritance hierarchies. Reachable statistics data notably included histograms and most-common-values
lists. CVE-2017-7484 and CVE-2019-10130 intended to close this class of vulnerability, but this gap
remained. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.6, 16.10, 15.14, 14.19, and 13.22 are affected. (CVE-2025-8713)

- Untrusted data inclusion in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows a malicious superuser of the origin server to
inject arbitrary code for restore-time execution as the client operating system account running psql to
restore the dump, via psql meta-commands. pg_dumpall is also affected. pg_restore is affected when used to
generate a plain-format dump. This is similar to MySQL CVE-2024-21096. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.6,
16.10, 15.14, 14.19, and 13.22 are affected. (CVE-2025-8714)

- Improper neutralization of newlines in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows a user of the origin server to inject
arbitrary code for restore-time execution as the client operating system account running psql to restore
the dump, via psql meta-commands inside a purpose-crafted object name. The same attacks can achieve SQL
injection as a superuser of the restore target server. pg_dumpall, pg_restore, and pg_upgrade are also
affected. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.6, 16.10, 15.14, 14.19, and 13.22 are affected. Versions before
11.20 are unaffected. CVE-2012-0868 had fixed this class of problem, but version 11.20 reintroduced it.
