[QGIS-Developer] PostgreSQL vulnerability in the QGIS application

[HarishKumar J, (Springbord)]

Dear Dror,

Thank you for the clarification regarding the bundled installations.

Based on your recommendation to use the Long Term Release (LTR) version for
organizational settings, we will look into the current LTR 3.44. We will
also monitor the upcoming release of QGIS 4.2.4 in October.

Since QGIS does not come with a prebundled PostgreSQL installation, we will
investigate our internal deployment process to identify how PostgreSQL
17.0.3 was included and proceed with the necessary upgrades independently.

Thanks
Harish
