Pgpool-II 4.7.3, 4.6.8, 4.5.13, 4.4.18, 4.3.21 officially released.

This release includes security fixes.

  • A vulnerability in watchdog message processing during failover in Pgpool-II allows an attacker to write an arbitrary 32-bit value to an arbitrary memory address by sending a malformed message. (CVE-2026-92867)

  • When a client connects to Pgpool-II using certificate authentication, Pgpool-II does not properly handle NUL bytes (\0) in the domain name in the Common Name (CN) field of the client’s X.509 certificate. This vulnerability allows a malicious client to connect to the Pgpool-II server as another user without a password. (CVE-2026-92868)

  • A vulnerability in watchdog message processing in Pgpool-II allows an attacker to overwrite memory beyond the boundaries of fixed-size arrays by sending a malformed message. (CVE-2026-92869)

  • A vulnerability in the handling of failover messages by watchdog in Pgpool-II allows writes of arbitrary-length data to corrupt the stack and crash a Pgpool-II process. (CVE-2026-92870)

  • A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in watchdog inter-node authentication in Pgpool-II. When an authentication key is configured, crafted watchdog messages that omit authentication information are not handled correctly. (CVE-2026-92871)

  • An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the heartbeat receiver process of Pgpool-II. (CVE-2026-92872)

  • A vulnerability in watchdog promotion processing in Pgpool-II allows an attacker to bypass authentication key checks and promote a watchdog node of their choice to leader. (CVE-2026-92873)
