DescriptionNVD

Integer wraparound in multiple PostgreSQL server features allows an unprivileged database user to cause the server to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds. This may execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. In applications that pass gigabyte-scale user inputs to the relevant database functions, the application input provider may achieve a segmentation fault. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in PostgreSQL (versions 14.x-18.x) allows authenticated database users to execute arbitrary code as the database operating system user via integer wraparound vulnerabilities in multiple server features. By passing gigabyte-scale inputs to affected database functions, attackers trigger allocation undersizing that leads to out-of-bounds writes. …
