How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 postgresql-9.6 to version 9.6.9-0+deb9u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql-9.6 package and not the postgresql-9.6 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

postgresql before versions 10.4, 9.6.9 is vulnerable in the adminpack extension, the pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate() function doesn't follow the same ACLs than pg_rorate_logfile. If the adminpack is added to a database, an attacker able to connect to it could exploit this to force log rotation.
