PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system (DBMS).
Security Fix(es):
* postgresql: PostgreSQL relation replacement during pg_dump executes arbitrary SQL (CVE-2024-7348)
* postgresql: PostgreSQL pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs lack authorization checks (CVE-2024-4317)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s)
listed in the References section.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
