Echo: postgresql-17: security update to 17.11

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458776

Description

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

 - Improper enforcement of message integrity in PostgreSQL GSSAPI support allows a user to negotiate GSSAPI
 contrary to pg_hba.conf rules, via initial direct TLS connection. Despite a pg_hba.conf that appears to
 require GSSAPI, the connection may exchange data over TLS encryption alone. If the TLS settings are more
 permissive than the GSS settings, the connection may continue with lesser protection. Within major
 versions 17-18, minor versions before PostgreSQL 18.6 and 17.11 are affected. Versions before PostgreSQL
 17 are unaffected. (CVE-2026-14681)

Solution

Update the postgresql-17 library and its related packages to version 17.11 or later.
