Thank you for your detailed response. I would like to clarify my
situation further to ensure I take the appropriate steps.
Currently, my environment is running *PostgreSQL 15.0*. I understand
that version *15.9* contains the fix for CVE-2024-10979, as mentioned in
the release notes.
Whoa, I thought the topic of discussion from your first post and the
email subject was:
"I am currently using PostgreSQL 11.10 and would like to know if the
CVE-2024-10979 vulnerability affects this version."
Given that I am not using the *PL/Perl* extension in my environment, I
wanted to ask:
* Is it still mandatory to upgrade specifically to version *15.9*, or
would remaining on version *15.0* suffice in this case?
I appreciate your guidance on whether this upgrade is necessary,
considering the specifics of my setup.
The upgrades fixed more then this issue, so yes you should upgrade for
all the reasons listed in the release notes for 15.1 to 15.10.
Thank you for your time and support.

Thank you for your response regarding the affected versions of
PostgreSQL. I have a follow-up question for clarification:
The PostgreSQL documentation mentions that the versions with a
fix for CVE-2024-10979 are *17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and
12.21*. However, your reply states that any version greater than
13+ should suffice.
Could you please confirm if upgrading to one of the specific
versions listed above is mandatory, or is it acceptable to
upgrade to any version higher than 13
It was literally just reported and fixed. If you are on a supported
release of PostgreSQL you have the fix. If you are not, you don’t.
At this point only major versions 13+ are supported.
Upgrading to an unsupported minor release is never recommended.
The fact you are on version 11 means you should not expect an answer
to the question whether this newly discovered CVE affects you - that
would be expecting support for a long-unsupported version.
Which of the 5 currently supported releases you should upgrade to is
a decision you need to make given your circumstances.
