AWS AmazonRDS: Updated TLS version support for RDS PostgreSQL
Summary
Clarified that RDS for PostgreSQL supports TLS 1.1 and 1.2, and that TLS 1.3 is supported only in PostgreSQL 16 and later.
Security assessment
The change corrects documentation about supported TLS versions, which is security-relevant because it informs users about available encryption protocols. It does not address a specific vulnerability or incident.
Evidence
RDS for PostgreSQL supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.1 and 1.2. RDS for PostgreSQL 16 and later supports TLS version 1.3.
