Description:
Postgres released CVE-2019-10208

As far as I can tell its resolved in 10.10. I am running LAPP 7.3.6-1 on Azure which includes Postgre 10.8. I thought this would be simple (I am new to Linux) I just run a Apt update/upgrade. Nope.

The only article I found was: https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/faq/windows-faq/administration/upgrade-windows/

Which does not seem to apply.

How can I do minor version upgrade to Postgres with Bitnami? Do I really have to download the newest stack, backup everything, move over configs, for a MINOR update? If thats the case, all the time I saved using this stack, would have been pointless. Please tell me im missing something here.

Hi @john10,

The Bitnami packages run independently from the system's packages. That's why you can't use the apt package to update PostgreSQL.

This is the only option you have to update the packages when using the Bitnami singleVM solutions. You will need to launch a new instance and migrate the data from the old one to the new one.

Note: The container solution support upgrades so maybe it's an option for you to use this container inside the VM you have. https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-postgresql

Let us know if you have any questions.
