Multiple security issues were discovered in PostgreSQL, which may result in authorisation bypass, execution of arbitrary code, information disclosure, privilege escalation, SQL injection or denial of service.

For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 15.18-0+deb12u1.
