How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 postgresql-9.6 to version 9.6.10-0+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.

A vulnerability was found in libpq, the default PostgreSQL client library where libpq failed to properly reset its internal state between connections. If an affected version of libpq was used with "host" or "hostaddr" connection parameters from untrusted input, attackers could bypass client-side connection security features, obtain access to higher privileged connections or potentially cause other impact through SQL injection, by causing the PQescape() functions to malfunction. Postgresql versions before 10.5, 9.6.10, 9.5.14, 9.4.19, and 9.3.24 are affected.
