   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for postgresql96 to 9.6.10 fixes the following issues:

   These security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2018-10915: libpq failed to properly reset its internal state
     between connections. If an affected version of libpq was used with
     "host" or "hostaddr" connection parameters from untrusted input,
     attackers could have bypassed client-side connection security features,
     obtain access to higher privileged connections or potentially cause
     other impact SQL injection, by causing the PQescape() functions to
     malfunction (bsc#1104199)
   - CVE-2018-10925: Add missing authorization check on certain statements
     involved with "INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE". An attacker with
     "CREATE TABLE" privileges could have exploited this to read arbitrary
     bytes server memory. If the attacker also had certain "INSERT" and
     limited "UPDATE" privileges to a particular table, they could have
     exploited this to update
     other columns in the same table (bsc#1104202)
