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:
