Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5401 advisory.

Two security issues were found in PostgreSQL, which may result in privilege escalation or incorrect policy enforcement. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 13.11-0+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-13 packages. For the detailed security status of postgresql-13 please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/postgresql-13

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-13 packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 13.11-0+deb11u1.
