Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Nov 9, 2026

Summary

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: libpq undersizes allocations, via integer wraparound (CVE-2025-12818)
