How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.18 postgresql14 to version 14.1-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql14 package and not the postgresql14 package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.18 relevant fixed versions and status.

When the server is configured to use trust authentication with a clientcert requirement or to use cert authentication, a man-in-the-middle attacker can inject arbitrary SQL queries when a connection is first established, despite the use of SSL certificate verification and encryption.
