An update that solves two vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for postgresql17 and postgresql18 fixes the following issues:

Changes in postgresql17, postgresql18:

Update to 17.7:

  * https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/p-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.
