How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.9 postgresql to version 11.3-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:3.9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability was found in postgresql versions 11.x prior to 11.3. Using a purpose-crafted insert to a partitioned table, an attacker can read arbitrary bytes of server memory. In the default configuration, any user can create a partitioned table suitable for this attack. (Exploit prerequisites are the same as for CVE-2018-1052).
