    Multiple security issues were discovered in PostgreSQL, which may
    result in execution of arbitrary code, incorrect authentication,
    information disclosure, or privilege escalation.

    The upstream fix to address CVE-2026-6471 requires additional
    changes to the configuration if some extensions are used. This
    affects the postgresql-15-wal2json and postgresql-15-decoderbufs
    extensions included in Debian. Quoting from the changelog:

    | Restrict logical decoding output plugins to the set specified by
    | a new server parameter `output_plugin_libraries` (Jacob
    | Champion)
    | Previously, a replication user could select any loadable library
    |
    | Restrict logical decoding output plugins to the set specified by
    | a new server parameter `output_plugin_libraries` (Jacob
    | Champion)
    | Previously, a replication user could select any loadable library
    | for logical decoding, allowing exploits of various sorts. To
    | allow locking this down without breaking setups that worked
    | before, introduce a whitelist of allowed output plugins.
    |
    | By default, only the output plugins shipped as part of
    | PostgreSQL (`pgoutput` and `test_decoding`) are included in
    |`output_plugin_libraries`. Installations that rely on other
    | output plugins must add them after updating the server, for
    | example
    |
    | output_plugin_libraries = 'pgoutput, test_decoding, my_trusted_decoder'

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    15.19-0+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-15 packages.

    its security tracker page at:
