<summary>Security update for postgresql17</summary>
<description>This update for postgresql17 fixes the following issue:
Update to version 17.9 (bsc#1258754).
Regression fixes:
- the substring() function raises an error "invalid byte sequence for encoding" on non-ASCII text values if the
source of that value is a database column (caused by CVE-2026-2006 fix).
- a standby may halt and return an error "could not access status of transaction".
