The PostgreSQL Global Development Group released updates fixing 52 security vulnerabilities and over 140 bugs, covering versions 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20 and 14.25. The security fixes address issues including arbitrary code execution, SQL injection and bypasses of row security policies.

Version 14.25 is PostgreSQL 14's final release; that branch will receive no further security or bug fixes. Administrators can apply the minor updates by stopping PostgreSQL and replacing its binaries, but some installations require additional repairs. Users of pg_trgm must rebuild affected GiST indexes, and users of incremental backups are advised to take a new full backup after updating.
