CVE-2012-0867
PostgreSQL 8.4.x before 8.4.11, 9.0.x before 9.0.7, and 9.1.x before 9.1.3 truncates the common name to only 32 characters when verifying SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to spoof connections when the host name is exactly 32 characters.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.34%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
