Alpine: multiple postgresql16 packages: security update to 16.11-r0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436077

Description

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

- Missing authorization in PostgreSQL CREATE STATISTICS command allows a table owner to achieve denial of
service against other CREATE STATISTICS users by creating in any schema. A later CREATE STATISTICS for the
same name, from a user having the CREATE privilege, would then fail. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.1,
17.7, 16.11, 15.15, 14.20, and 13.23 are affected. (CVE-2025-12817)

- Integer wraparound in multiple PostgreSQL libpq client library functions allows an application input
provider or network peer to cause libpq to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds by hundreds of
megabytes. This results in a segmentation fault for the application using libpq. Versions before
PostgreSQL 18.1, 17.7, 16.11, 15.15, 14.20, and 13.23 are affected. (CVE-2025-12818)
