possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary SQL code. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-14349)
Andres Freund discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled search path
elements in CREATE EXTENSION. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to execute arbitrary SQL code. (CVE-2020-14350)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package
versions:
Ubuntu 20.04
o postgresql-12 - 12.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
Ubuntu 18.04
o postgresql-10 - 10.14-0ubuntu0.18.04.1

make all the necessary changes.
