"The version of postgresql installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-5870 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in PostgreSQL involving the pg_cancel_backend role that signals background workers,
    including the logical replication launcher, autovacuum workers, and the autovacuum launcher. Successful
    exploitation requires a non-core extension with a less-resilient background worker and would affect that
    specific background worker only. This issue May allow a remote high privileged user to launch a denial of
    service (DoS) attack. (CVE-2023-5870)
