"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2017-2312:02 advisory.

    * 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)
    Asianux would like to thank the PostgreSQL project for reporting this issue.
    Upstream acknowledges Ben de Graaff, Jelte Fennema, and Jeroen van der Ham as
    the original reporters.
    CVE-2017-7546
    PostgreSQL versions before 9.2.22, 9.3.18, 9.4.13, 9.5.8 and 9.6.4 are
    vulnerable to incorrect authentication flaw allowing remote attackers
    to gain access to database accounts with an empty password.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
