-------------------------------------------------------------

An update that solves 2 vulnerabilities and has 2 bug fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for postgresql16 fixes the following issues:

Security fixes:

- CVE-2025-12817: Missing check for CREATE
  privileges on the schema in CREATE STATISTICS allowed table
  owners to create statistics in any schema, potentially leading
  to unexpected naming conflicts (bsc#1253332)
- CVE-2025-12818: Several places in libpq were not
  sufficiently careful about computing the required size of a
  memory allocation. Sufficiently large inputs could cause
  integer overflow, resulting in an undersized buffer, which
  would then lead to writing past the end of the buffer (bsc#1253333)

Other fixes:

  - Upgrade to 16.11
