"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - PostGIS address_standardizer through 3.7.0 fails to validate the Weight parameter from caller-supplied
    rules tables before using it as an array index. Attackers can craft malicious rule rows with out-of-range
    Weight values to trigger out-of-bounds reads in the load_value array, causing the PostgreSQL backend
    process to crash and terminate all cluster sessions. (CVE-2026-90775)
