Please see:

https://www.postgresql.org/support/security/ <https://www.postgresql.org/support/security/> which explains the security
process

and the roadmap:

https://www.postgresql.org/developer/roadmap/ <https://www.postgresql.org/developer/roadmap/>

In summary: we plan to release minor version updates of PostgreSQL
quarterly and if there are security fixes those are included in those updates.

Best,

Jonathan
