"The version of postgresql installed on the remote host is prior to 14.21-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2POSTGRESQL14-2026-022 advisory.

    Improper validation of type oidvector in PostgreSQL allows a database user to disclose a few bytes of
    server memory.  We have not ruled out viability of attacks that arrange for presence of confidential
    information in disclosed bytes, but they seem unlikely.  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12,
    15.16, and 14.21 are affected. (CVE-2026-2003)

    Missing validation of type of input in PostgreSQL intarray extension selectivity estimator function allows
    an object creator to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database.  Versions
    before PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and 14.21 are affected. (CVE-2026-2004)

    Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL pgcrypto allows a ciphertext provider to execute arbitrary code as the
    operating system user running the database.  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and
    14.21 are affected. (CVE-2026-2005)

    Missing validation of multibyte character length in PostgreSQL text manipulation allows a database user to
    issue crafted queries that achieve a buffer overrun.  That suffices to execute arbitrary code as the
    operating system user running the database.  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and
    14.21 are affected. (CVE-2026-2006)
