    IN THE EXTENSION SCRIPT, a SQL Injection vulnerability was found in PostgreSQL if it uses @extowner@,
    @extschema@, or @extschema:...@ inside a quoting construct (dollar quoting, '', or ). If an
    administrator has installed files of a vulnerable, trusted, non-bundled extension, an attacker with
    database-level CREATE privilege can execute arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser.

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

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