When and how frequent is DAZ fixing insecure PostgreSQL in Studio

Secunia PSI is reporting that the third party PostgreSQL database-engine in DAZ-Studio is insecure (not the first time and I'm running 4.9 with latest PostgreSQL-installation from DIM). I don't want to have insecure, but still developed stuff on my computer (for "end-of-life"-programs I'll decide on my own risk).

As far as I appreciate an Open Source database-engine for all the content-stuff, I don't see any reason for using engines which are deprecated. I don't have any ideas how sincere the bug-fixes are: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/release-9-3-11.html , but the list doesn't make me to trust on the deprecated version.

So, when and how frequently will DAZ deploy security-fixes of essential to Studio used third party components (from my little knowledge of Linux it should be 1 or 2 days, after a repository was updated)?

(Yeah, and the DAZ-listening port is unusual, but security through obscurity in 2016? really?)
