The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its banner, the version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host may suffer from the following vulnerabilities :- Character Conversion Vulnerability Unprivileged users can call functions supporting client- server character set conversion from SQL commands even though those functions do not validate their arguments.
- tsearch2 Vulnerability If installed, the 'contrib/tsearch2' module permits users to at a minimum crash the backend because it misdeclares several functions as returning type 'internal' when in fact they do not have any 'internal' argument.
