How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 postgresql14-contrib to version 14.24-160000.1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql14-contrib package and not the postgresql14-contrib package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

Cleartext storage in PostgreSQL pgcrypto disabled ciphers allows a user to recover cleartext, via direct observation of the faulty ciphertext. The OpenSSL version and OpenSSL configuration determine the disabled ciphers. If the application accepts encrypted data as input, decryption will succeed even with the wrong key. This in turn loses the modest protection from the Modification Detection Code (MDC). Affected functions are pgp_sym_encrypt, pgp_sym_decrypt, pgp_pub_encrypt, pgp_pub_decrypt, pgp_sym_encrypt_bytea, pgp_sym_decrypt_bytea, pgp_pub_encrypt_bytea, and pgp_pub_decrypt_bytea. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
