    Package        : pgpool2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-45624 CVE-2025-46801
    Debian Bug     : 1081659 1106119

    Two security issues were found in pgpool-II, the connection pool server
    and replication proxy for PostgreSQL, which could result in authentication
    bypass and exposure of sensitive information.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
    in version 4.3.5-1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pgpool2 packages.

    For the detailed security status of pgpool2 please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/pgpool2

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
