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.

Vulnerabilities 16
-
High 8.8CVE-2026-14662 Public exploit
PostgreSQL tsvector and tsquery undersize allocations, via integer wraparound
Integer wraparound in PostgreSQL tsvector and tsquery data type functions allows an unprivileged database user to cause the server to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds, via crafted large inputs. This may execute arbitrary code as the operating s…
-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL regexp heap buffer overflow executes arbitrary code
Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL regexp allows the query author to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via text that would not pass encoding validation. This shares heritage with CVE-2026-2006, but this case involved un…
-
High 8.8CVE-2026-14669 Public exploit
PostgreSQL to_char heap buffer overflow executes arbitrary code
Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL to_char(timestamptz) allows the party choosing the timezone to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via a long POSIX timezone abbreviation. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, …
-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL plperl tied object heap buffer overflow executes arbitrary code
Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL plperl return of a tied hash allows the function owner to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via a crafted function body. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24…
-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL refint plan cache type confusion executes arbitrary code
Type confusion in PostgreSQL module "refint" allows an object creator to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. The fix for this emerged as a non-security bug report, and the fix appear in the git repository with subject "re…
-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL 32-bit pltcl and plperl undersize allocations, via integer wraparound
Integer wraparound in PostgreSQL 32-bit builds of pltcl and plperl allows an object creator to cause the server to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds via crafted function bodies. This may execute arbitrary code as the operating system user runnin…
-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL type confusion via "internal" arguments
Type confusion with PostgreSQL "internal" data type arguments allows any user to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via calls to functions with that argument type. Type "internal" represents a class of mutually-incompati…
-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL expression deparse allows SQL injection via EXTRACT argument
SQL injection in PostgreSQL EXTRACT() deparse allows an object owner to execute arbitrary SQL as a superuser via a hostile object definition. Attacks affect expression deparse consumers broadly, including pg_dump, psql commands like \sf, and any similar usage…
-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL fuzzystrmatch writes effectively-arbitrary addresses, via integer wraparound

PostgreSQL type confusion in cursor CLOSE + DECLARE executes arbitrary code
Type confusion in PostgreSQL "portal"/cursor lifecycle allows a user to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via re-creation of a cursor or other portal with different types. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, …
-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL psql \unrestrict lets superuser of pg_dump origin server execute arbitrary code in psql client

-
High 8.8
PostgreSQL pg_dump heap buffer overflow executes arbitrary code
Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL pg_dump of long function transform lists allows an object creator to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running pg_dump, via a crafted transform list. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, an…
-
High 8.2
PostgreSQL stack buffer overflow in argument match writes 0x0 and 0x1 to server memory

-
High 8.1
PostgreSQL ctid type confusion in selectivity estimator discloses derivative of arbitrary read

-
High 8.1
PostgreSQL psql COPY FROM STDIN early failure processes data lines as psql commands

-
High 7.2CVE-2026-6471 Public exploit
PostgreSQL logical decoding can dlopen arbitrary file
Missing authorization in PostgreSQL logical decoding allows a non-superuser holding REPLICATION privilege to dlopen any file visible to the operating system account running the server, via the choice of logical decoding plugin. This in turn runs arbitrary cod…
