Dear @valentin-nasta ,

Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, we are unable to address similar reports and issues without specific suggestions. However, we are open to concrete suggestions related to security.

Upon examining the information provided on https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2023-5363 , it appears that only the "bookworm" version is affected by the DSA-5532-1 issue, not "bullseye". Currently, our image is based solely on "bullseye" and is very simple, as shown here: https://github.com/postgis/docker-postgis/blob/master/15-3.4/Dockerfile. Therefore, I believe this to be a false positive result, which we cannot act upon.

If you agree that the result on https://osv.dev/vulnerability/DSA-5532-1 is a false positive, please report this feedback on the security scanner’s website you used, in hopes that the issue might be corrected.

Unfortunately, false positive CVE issues are quite common, as evidenced by:

If the Debian-based image does not meet requirements, it might be worthwhile to consider trying out the Alpine-based Docker images. postgis/postgis:15-3.4-alpine

@ImreSamu thank you for the quick reply! Indeed looks like a false positive also to me after checking the link you provided - https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2023-5363

I will check with security admins of the website this was reported and keep this issue updated.

I learned quite a few tips from your detailed reply. 👍 That is indeed a false positive, therefore I'll close this issue. ℹ️
