This update for postgresql10 fixes the following issues :

PostgreSQL 10 was updated to 10.5 :

https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1851/

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-10-5.html

A dump/restore is not required for those running 10.X. However, if you use the adminpack extension, you should update it as per the first changelog entry below. Also, if the function marking mistakes mentioned in the second and third changelog entries below affect you, you will want to take steps to correct your database catalogs.

Security issues fixed: CVE-2018-1115: Remove public execute privilege from contrib/adminpack's pg_logfile_rotate() function pg_logfile_rotate() is a deprecated wrapper for the core function pg_rotate_logfile(). When that function was changed to rely on SQL privileges for access control rather than a hard-coded superuser check, pg_logfile_rotate() should have been updated as well, but the need for this was missed. Hence, if adminpack is installed, any user could request a logfile rotation, creating a minor security issue.
After installing this update, administrators should update adminpack by performing ALTER EXTENSION adminpack UPDATE in each database in which adminpack is installed (bsc#1091610).

CVE-2018-10915: libpq failed to properly reset its internal state between connections. If an affected version of libpq was used with 'host' or 'hostaddr' connection parameters from untrusted input, attackers could have bypassed client-side connection security features, obtain access to higher privileged connections or potentially cause other impact SQL injection, by causing the PQescape() functions to malfunction (bsc#1104199)

CVE-2018-10925: Add missing authorization check on certain statements involved with 'INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE'. An attacker with 'CREATE TABLE' privileges could have exploited this to read arbitrary bytes server memory. If the attacker also had certain 'INSERT' and limited 'UPDATE' privileges to a particular table, they could have exploited this to update other columns in the same table (bsc#1104202).

An update of the postgresql package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:3816 advisory.

    Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine delivers the insight, control, and automation needed to address the     challenges of managing virtual environments. CloudForms Management Engine is built on Ruby on Rails, a     model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the     controller and the view components.

    Security Fix(es):

    * postgresql: Certain host connection parameters defeat client-side security defenses (CVE-2018-10915)

    * postgresql: Missing authorization and memory disclosure in INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE statements     (CVE-2018-10925)

    * postgresql: pg_upgrade creates file of sensitive metadata under prevailing umask (CVE-2018-1053)

    * postgresql: Uncontrolled search path element in pg_dump and other client applications (CVE-2018-1058)
