Calendar Grey May 27, 2025
Dist Debian Esm H88
Ubuntu LTS USN-5283-1 addresses vulnerabilities in apache2, including denial of service risks and potential privilege escalation.
PgBouncer is a lightweight connection pooler for PostgreSQL

Summary

CVE-2021-3539

When PgBouncer is configured to use "cert" authentication, a
man-in-the-middle attacker can inject arbitrary SQL queries when a
connection is first established, despite the use of TLS certificate
verification and encryption. This flaw affects PgBouncer versions prior to
1.16.1.

CVE-2025-2291

Password can be used past expiry in PgBouncer due to auth_query not taking
into account Postgres its VALID UNTIL value, which allows an attacker to
log in with an already expired password

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
1.15.0-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pgbouncer packages.
