    Debian Bug     :

    Multiple vulnerabilities were fixed in PostgreSQL, a popular database.

    CVE-2026-2003

        Fix CVE-2026-2003: Improper validation of type oidvector in PostgreSQL
        allows a database user to disclose a few bytes of server memory. We have
        not ruled out viability of attacks that arrange for presence of
        confidential information in disclosed bytes, but they seem unlikely.

    CVE-2026-2004

        Fix CVE-2026-2004: Missing validation of type of input in PostgreSQL
        intarray extension selectivity estimator function allows an object creator
        to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the
        database.

    CVE-2026-2005

        Fix CVE-2026-2005: Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL pgcrypto allows a
        ciphertext provider to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user
        running the database.

    CVE-2026-2006

        Fix CVE-2026-2006: Missing validation of multibyte character length in
        PostgreSQL text manipulation allows a database user to issue crafted
        queries that achieve a buffer overrun. That suffices to execute arbitrary
        code as the operating system user running the database.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    13.23-0+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-13 packages.
