Title

EDB Postgres Advanced Server products must be a version supported by the vendor. (Cat I impact)

Discussion

Unsupported commercial and database systems should not be used because fixes to newly identified bugs will not be implemented by the vendor. The lack of support can result in potential vulnerabilities. Systems at unsupported servicing levels or releases will not receive security updates for new vulnerabilities, which leaves them subject to exploitation. When maintenance updates and patches are no longer available, the database software is no longer considered supported and should be upgraded or decommissioned.

Check Content

Review the system documentation and interview the database administrator. Identify all database software components. Review the current version and release information as follows: > /usr/edb/as<version>/bin/edb-postgres --version Access the EDB website to validate that the version is currently supported: https://www.enterprisedb.com/resources/platform-compatibility If the DBMS or any of the software components are not supported by the vendor, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove or decommission all unsupported software products. Upgrade unsupported DBMS or unsupported components to a supported version of the product.
