Echo: postgresql-13: security update to 13.17postgresql-17: security update to 17.1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 459075

Description

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

 - Incomplete tracking in PostgreSQL of tables with row security allows a reused query to view or change
 different rows from those intended. CVE-2023-2455 and CVE-2016-2193 fixed most interaction between row
 security and user ID changes. They missed cases where a subquery, WITH query, security invoker view, or
 SQL-language function references a table with a row-level security policy. This has the same consequences
 as the two earlier CVEs. That is to say, it leads to potentially incorrect policies being applied in 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. An attacker must tailor an attack to a particular
 application's pattern of query plan reuse, user ID changes, and role-specific row security policies.
 Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10976)

Solution

Update the postgresql-13 library and its related packages to version 13.17 or later.
