Changes in postgresql17, postgresql18:

Update to 17.7:

* https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-181-177-1611-1515-1420-and-1323-released-3171/

* https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/17.7/

* bsc#1253332, CVE-2025-12817: Missing check for CREATE

privileges on the schema in CREATE STATISTICS allowed table

owners to create statistics in any schema, potentially leading

to unexpected naming conflicts.

* bsc#1253333, CVE-2025-12818: Several places in libpq were not

sufficiently careful about computing the required size of a

memory allocation. Sufficiently large inputs could cause

integer overflow, resulting in an undersized buffer, which

would then lead to writing past the end of the buffer.

Postgresql is shipped in version 18.1.

pgvector was updated to 0.8.1 to support postgresql18.

pgaudit was updated to support postgresql18.
