PgBouncer 1.24.1 has been released. This release fixes CVE-2025-2291, which
could allow an attacker to bypass Postgres its password expiry. Such a password
expiry would have been set up in Postgres using the `VALID UNTIL` clause. This
is a security issue that affects all versions of PgBouncer. If you use both
`VALID UNTIL` and `auth_user` then you should upgrade, or change the
`auth_query` in your config file to the new `auth_query` that is used by
default in this release. If you are using a custom `auth_query` then you should
update it be similar to the new default `auth_query` in this release.

This release also fixes PAM authentication by reverting support for `pam` in
the HBA file. PAM authentication was accidentally broken in 1.24.0.
