    Debian Bug     :

    Brief introduction

    CVE-2026-6473

        Integer wraparound in multiple PostgreSQL server features allows an
        application input provider to cause the server to undersize an allocation
        and write out-of-bounds.

    CVE-2026-6474

        Externally-controlled format string in PostgreSQL timeofday() function
        allows an attacker to retrieve portions of server memory, via crafted
        timezone zones

    CVE-2026-6475

        Symlink following in PostgreSQL pg_basebackup plain format and in pg_rewind
        allows an origin superuser to overwrite local files, that hijack the
        operating system account. It will remain the case that starting the server
        after these commands implicitly trusts the origin superuser, due to features
        like shared_preload_libraries.

    CVE-2026-6477

        Use of inherently dangerous function PQfn(..., result_is_int=0, ...) in
        PostgreSQL libpq lo_export(), lo_read(), lo_lseek64(), and lo_tell64()
        functions allows the server superuser to overwrite a client stack buffer
        with an arbitrarily-large response.

    CVE-2026-6478

        Covert timing channel in comparison of MD5-hashed password in PostgreSQL
        authentication allows an attacker to recover user credentials sufficient to
        authenticate. This does not affect scram-sha-256 passwords, the default in
        all supported releases. However, current databases may have MD5-hashed
        passwords originating in upgrades from PostgreSQL 13 or earlier.


    CVE-2026-6479

        Uncontrolled recursion in PostgreSQL SSL and GSS negotiation allows an
        attacker able to connect to a PostgreSQL AF_UNIX socket to achieve sustained
        denial of service. If SSL and GSS are both disabled, an attacker can do the
        same via access to a PostgreSQL TCP socket

    CVE-2026-6637

        Stack buffer overflow in PostgreSQL module refint allows an unprivileged
        database user to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running
        the database. A distinct attack is possible if the application declares a
        user-controlled column as a refint cascade primary key and facilitates
        user-controlled updates to that column. In that case, a SQL injection allows
        a primary key update value provider to execute arbitrary SQL as the database
        user performing the primary key update.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    13.23-0+deb11u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-13 packages.
