Issue Overview:

pg_user_mappings view discloses passwords to users lacking server privileges:
An authorization flaw was found in the way PostgreSQL handled access to the pg_user_mappings view on foreign servers. A remote authenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to retrieve passwords from the user mappings defined by the foreign server owners without actually having the privileges to do so. (CVE-2017-7547)

Empty password accepted in some authentication methods:
It was found that authenticating to a PostgreSQL database account with an empty password was possible despite libpq’s refusal to send an empty password. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to gain access to database accounts with empty passwords. (CVE-2017-7546)
