Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql15
package and not the postgresql15
package as distributed by Alpine
.
See How to fix?
for Alpine:3.17
relevant fixed versions and status.
In PostgreSQL 9.3.x before 9.3.17, 9.4.x before 9.4.12, 9.5.x before 9.5.7, and 9.6.x before 9.6.3, it was found that the PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was no longer enforcing a SSL/TLS connection to a PostgreSQL server. An active Man-in-the-Middle attacker could use this flaw to strip the SSL/TLS protection from a connection between a client and a server.
