Summary

Important: postgresql16 security update

Details

PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS). The base postgresql package contains the client programs that you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server, as well as HTML documentation for the whole system. These client programs can be located on the same machine as the PostgreSQL server, or on a remote machine that accesses a PostgreSQL server over a network connection. The PostgreSQL server can be found in the postgresql-server sub-package.

Security Fix(es):

postgresql: PostgreSQL executes arbitrary code in restore operation (CVE-2025-8715)
postgresql: PostgreSQL code execution in restore operation (CVE-2025-8714)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

CVE-2025-8714 (GCVE-0-2025-8714)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-14 13:00 – Updated: 2026-02-26 17:48

Title

PostgreSQL pg_dump lets superuser of origin server execute arbitrary code in psql client

Summary

Untrusted data inclusion in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows a malicious superuser of the origin server to inject arbitrary code for restore-time execution as the client operating system account running psql to restore the dump, via psql meta-commands. pg_dumpall is also affected. pg_restore is affected when used to generate a plain-format dump. This is similar to MySQL CVE-2024-21096. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.6, 16.10, 15.14, 14.19, and 13.22 are affected.

Severity ?

8.8 (High)

CVE-2025-8715 (GCVE-0-2025-8715)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-14 13:00 – Updated: 2026-02-26 17:48

Title

PostgreSQL pg_dump newline in object name executes arbitrary code in psql client and in restore target server

Summary

Improper neutralization of newlines in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows a user of the origin server to inject arbitrary code for restore-time execution as the client operating system account running psql to restore the dump, via psql meta-commands inside a purpose-crafted object name. The same attacks can achieve SQL injection as a superuser of the restore target server. pg_dumpall, pg_restore, and pg_upgrade are also affected. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.6, 16.10, 15.14, 14.19, and 13.22 are affected. Versions before 11.20 are unaffected. CVE-2012-0868 had fixed this class of problem, but version 11.20 reintroduced it.

Severity ?

8.8 (High)
