Debian 11040 Published by

Debian published six security and bugfix advisories, delivering updated packages for python-httplib2, unzip, zip, util-linux, postgresql-15, and ca-certificates-java across the stable trixie and bookworm distributions. The python-httplib2 patch resolves an unbounded decompression flaw that could cause a denial of service, while refreshed unzip and zip utilities block arbitrary code execution and command injection attacks triggered by malformed archive inputs. Operators need to upgrade util-linux to neutralize multiple privilege escalation risks, and postgresql-15 administrators must apply a configuration tweak to lock down logical decoding output plugins after patching over two dozen CVEs that previously allowed unauthorized access or data leaks. Applying these package updates immediately will close the newly disclosed vulnerabilities and keep affected systems aligned with current security baselines.

ELA-1809-1 ca-certificates-java bugfix update (by )


Package : ca-certificates-java


Version : 20230710~deb12u1~deb11u1~deb10u2~deb9u1 (stretch), 20230710~deb12u1~deb11u1~deb10u2 (buster)


The ca-certificates-java package needs to be upgraded.
For Debian 10 buster, this is a minor update to make sure that the Java keystore isn’t modified in case the default Java runtime is GCJ (GNU Java runtime).
For Debian 9 stretch, this is an upgrade to resolve a circular dependency between Java packages and ca-certificates, which would otherwise prevent the system certificates from being updated (this was applied to Debian buster in ELA-1514-1). We also make sure that that the Java keystore isn’t modified in case the default Java runtime is GCJ (GNU Java runtime).

CVE-2026-18408 CVE-2026-19385

Multiple security issues were discovered in PostgreSQL, which may
result in execution of arbitrary code, incorrect authentication,
information disclosure, or privilege escalation.

The upstream fix to address CVE-2026-6471 requires additional
changes to the configuration if some extensions are used. This
affects the postgresql-15-wal2json and postgresql-15-decoderbufs
extensions included in Debian. Quoting from the changelog:

| Restrict logical decoding output plugins to the set specified by
| a new server parameter `output_plugin_libraries` (Jacob
| Champion)
| Previously, a replication user could select any loadable library
|
| Restrict logical decoding output plugins to the set specified by
| a new server parameter `output_plugin_libraries` (Jacob
| Champion)
| Previously, a replication user could select any loadable library
| for logical decoding, allowing exploits of various sorts. To
| allow locking this down without breaking setups that worked
| before, introduce a whitelist of allowed output plugins.
|
| By default, only the output plugins shipped as part of
| PostgreSQL (`pgoutput` and `test_decoding`) are included in
|`output_plugin_libraries`. Installations that rely on other
| output plugins must add them after updating the server, for
| example
|
| output_plugin_libraries = 'pgoutput, test_decoding, my_trusted_decoder'

For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
15.19-0+deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-15 packages.
