high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457914

Description

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

 - Improper neutralization of quoting syntax in PostgreSQL libpq functions PQescapeLiteral(),
 PQescapeIdentifier(), PQescapeString(), and PQescapeStringConn() allows a database input provider to
 achieve SQL injection in certain usage patterns. Specifically, SQL injection requires the application to
 use the function result to construct input to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Similarly,
 improper neutralization of quoting syntax in PostgreSQL command line utility programs allows a source of
 command line arguments to achieve SQL injection when client_encoding is BIG5 and server_encoding is one of
 EUC_TW or MULE_INTERNAL. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.3, 16.7, 15.11, 14.16, and 13.19 are affected.
 (CVE-2025-1094)

Solution

Update the postgresql-13 library and its related packages to version 13.20-0+deb11u1 or later.
