remote user could possibly use this issue to read arbitrary bytes of server
memory. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.04. (CVE-2019-10129)

Dean Rasheed discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled selectivity
estimators. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass row
security policies. (CVE-2019-10130)

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 19.04:
postgresql-11 11.3-0ubuntu0.19.04.1
