<p>An update that solves two vulnerabilities can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for postgresql17 and postgresql18 fixes the following issues:</p>
<p>Changes in postgresql17, postgresql18:</p>
<p>Update to 17.7:</p>
<ul>
<li>https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/p-3171/</li>
<li>
<p>https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/17.7/</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<p>Postgresql is shipped in version 18.1.</p>
<p>pgvector was updated to 0.8.1 to support postgresql18.</p>
<p>pgaudit was updated to support postgresql18.</p>
