"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.
- postgresql: Memory disclosure in aggregate function calls (CVE-2023-5868)
- 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)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package
is installed.");
