Description

According to the version of the postgresql packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - postgresql before versions 10.4, 9.6.9 is vulnerable in the adminpack extension, the pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate() function doesn't follow the same ACLs than pg_rorate_logfile. If the adminpack is added to a database, an attacker able to connect to it could exploit this to force log rotation.(CVE-2018-1115)
