MEDIUM 5.9EPSS 2.04%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.04%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

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.
