The libpq package provides the PostgreSQL client library, which allows client programs to connect to PostgreSQL servers.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: libpq (12.5). (BZ#1898226, BZ#1901561)

Security Fix(es):

  • postgresql: Reconnection can downgrade connection security settings (CVE-2020-25694)

  • postgresql: psql’s \gset allows overwriting specially treated variables (CVE-2020-25696)
