The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200703-15 (PostgreSQL: Multiple vulnerabilities)
PostgreSQL does not correctly check the data types of the SQL function arguments under unspecified circumstances nor the format of the provided tables in the query planner.
Impact :
A remote authenticated attacker could send specially crafted queries to the server that could result in a server crash and possibly the unauthorized reading of some database content or arbitrary memory.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
