        When the query cache feature is enabled, it was possible that a         database user can read rows from tables that should not be visible         for the user through query cache.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     4.1.4-3+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pgpool2 packages.
