    Package        : postgresql-13
    Version        : 13.23-0+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-12817 CVE-2025-12818

    A couple of vulnerabilities were discovered in postgresql-13, the
    widely-popular database management system:

    CVE-2025-12817

        Missing authorization in PostgreSQL CREATE STATISTICS command
        allows a table owner to achieve denial of service against other
        CREATE STATISTICS users by creating in any schema. A later
        CREATE STATISTICS for the same name, from a user having the
        CREATE privilege, would then fail.

    CVE-2025-12818

        Integer wraparound in multiple PostgreSQL libpq client library
        functions allows an application input provider or network peer
        to cause libpq to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds
        by hundreds of megabytes. This results in a segmentation fault
        for the application using libpq.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    13.23-0+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-13 packages.

    For the detailed security status of postgresql-13 please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
