Upgrade Debian:11 postgresql-13 to version 13.1-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql-13 package and not the postgresql-13 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL versions before 13.1, before 12.5, before 11.10, before 10.15, before 9.6.20 and before 9.5.24. If a client application that creates additional database connections only reuses the basic connection parameters while dropping security-relevant parameters, an opportunity for a man-in-the-middle attack, or the ability to observe clear-text transmissions, could exist. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
