PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
(DBMS).
Security Fix(es) :
* 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)
