Echo: postgresql-15: security update to 15.14multiple postgresql-17 packages: security update to 17.6

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455355

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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)

Solution

Update the postgresql-15 library and its related packages to version 15.14 or later.
