postgresql-10, postgresql-11 vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:
PostgreSQL could allow unintended access to the database.
Software Description:
– postgresql-11: Object-relational SQL database
– postgresql-10: Object-relational SQL database
Details:
It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly performed authorization
checks when handling the “ALTER … DEPENDS ON EXTENSION” sub-commands. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to drop any function,
procedure, materialized view, index, or trigger under certain conditions.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following

fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart PostgreSQL to
make all the necessary changes.
