The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'postgresql-common' package(s) announced via the DLA-1994-1 advisory. Rich Mirch discovered that the pg_ctlcluster script didn't drop privileges when creating socket/statistics temporary directories, which could result in local privilege escalation. We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-common packages. Please install the updated package(s)
