Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: postgresql-jdbc security update

Notes

Topic
An update for postgresql-jdbc is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system. The postgresql-jdbc package includes the .jar files needed for Java programs to access a PostgreSQL database. Security Fix(es): * postgresql-jdbc: XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in PgSQLXML (CVE-2020-13692) This update introduces a backwards incompatible change required to resolve this issue.
