Echo: pg-partman: security update to 5.5.0-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 458942

Description

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

 - pg_partman is a PostgreSQL extension that manages partitioned tables by time or ID. Prior to 5.5.0,
 run_maintenance() handles exceptions outside the loop that processes rows from part_config, so an
 exception for one partition set immediately terminates the loop and skips every later set. A role with
 partman_user access can insert or update a row that reliably fails and assign it a low maintenance_order
 value so it is processed before legitimate rows. Repeated maintenance ticks then abort before legitimate
 partition sets are maintained, causing database-wide loss of automated partition maintenance. This issue
 is fixed in version 5.5.0. (CVE-2026-61822)

Solution

Update the pg-partman library and its related packages to version 5.5.0-1 or later.
