"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200601-05
(mod_auth_pgsql: Multiple format string vulnerabilities)

    The error logging functions of mod_auth_pgsql fail to validate certain
    strings before passing them to syslog, resulting in format string
    vulnerabilities.
  
Impact :

    An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities
    to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the
    Apache2 server by sending specially crafted login names.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
