The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'postgresql-common' package(s) announced via the DSA-4568-1 advisory. The pg_ctlcluster script didn't drop privileges when creating socket/statistics temporary directories, which could result in local privilege escalation. It has been fixed in version 181+deb9u3 for Debian 9 and version 200+deb10u3 for Debian 10. Upgrade postgresql-common packages to the latest version

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 181+deb9u3.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 200+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-common packages.
