How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.11 postgresql to version 12.4-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql package and not the postgresql package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.11 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was found that PostgreSQL versions before 12.4, before 11.9 and before 10.14 did not properly sanitize the search_path during logical replication. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw in an attack similar to CVE-2018-1058, in order to execute arbitrary SQL command in the context of the user used for replication.
