Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for rh-postgresql12-postgresql.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:4313 advisory.

- postgresql: schema_element defeats protective search_path changes (CVE-2023-2454)
