  - Client use of server error message in PostgreSQL allows a server not trusted under current SSL or GSS
    settings to furnish arbitrary non-NUL bytes to the libpq application. For example, a man-in-the-middle
    attacker could send a long error message that a human or screen-scraper user of psql mistakes for valid
    query results. This is probably not a concern for clients where the user interface unambiguously indicates
    the boundary between one error message and other text. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14,
    13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10977)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
