How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 postgresql-9.6 to version 9.6.3-1 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.

In PostgreSQL 9.3.x before 9.3.17, 9.4.x before 9.4.12, 9.5.x before 9.5.7, and 9.6.x before 9.6.3, it was found that the PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was no longer enforcing a SSL/TLS connection to a PostgreSQL server. An active Man-in-the-Middle attacker could use this flaw to strip the SSL/TLS protection from a connection between a client and a server.
