Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2817 advisory.

 Jacob Champion discovered two vulnerabilities in the PostgreSQL database system, which could result in man-in-the-middle attacks. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 9.6.24-0+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-9.6 packages. For the detailed security status of postgresql-9.6 please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/postgresql-9.6 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at:
 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the postgresql-9.6 packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 9.6.24-0+deb9u1.
