Description:

This update for postgresql13 fixes the following issues:

Security fixes:

  • CVE-2025-12817: Fixed missing check for CREATE privileges on the schema in CREATE STATISTICS allowed table owners to create statistics in any schema, potentially leading to unexpected naming conflicts (bsc#1253332)
  • CVE-2025-12818: Fixed several places in libpq were not sufficiently careful about computing the required size of a memory allocation. Sufficiently large inputs could cause integer overflow, resulting in an undersized buffer, which would then lead to writing past the end of the buffer (bsc#1253333)
