CVE-2018-10936 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:9 libpgjava.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpgjava package and not the libpgjava package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
A weakness was found in postgresql-jdbc before version 42.2.5. It was possible to provide an SSL Factory and not check the host name if a host name verifier was not provided to the driver. This could lead to a condition where a man-in-the-middle attacker could masquerade as a trusted server by providing a certificate for the wrong host, as long as it was signed by a trusted CA.
