PostgreSQL refint allows stack buffer overflow and SQL injection
Stack buffer overflow in PostgreSQL module "refint" allows an unprivileged database user to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. A distinct attack is possible if the application declares a user-controlled column as a "refi…

PostgreSQL pg_restore_attribute_stats accepts values that cause query planning to read past end of stats array
Buffer over-read in PostgreSQL function pg_restore_attribute_stats() accepts array values of unmatched length, which causes query planning to read past end of one array. This allows a table maintainer to infer memory values past that array end. Within major v…

PostgreSQL SSL/GSS init causes denial of service, via uncontrolled recursion
Uncontrolled recursion in PostgreSQL SSL and GSS negotiation allows an attacker able to connect to a PostgreSQL AF_UNIX socket to achieve sustained denial of service. If SSL and GSS are both disabled, an attacker can do the same via access to a PostgreSQL TCP…

PostgreSQL discloses MD5-hashed passwords via covert timing channel
Covert timing channel in comparison of MD5-hashed password in PostgreSQL authentication allows an attacker to recover user credentials sufficient to authenticate. This does not affect scram-sha-256 passwords, the default in all supported releases. However, cu…

PostgreSQL libpq lo_* functions let server superuser overwrite client stack memory
Use of inherently dangerous function PQfn(..., result_is_int=0, ...) in PostgreSQL libpq lo_export(), lo_read(), lo_lseek64(), and lo_tell64() functions allows the server superuser to overwrite a client stack buffer with an arbitrarily-large response. Like ge…

PostgreSQL pg_createsubscriber allows SQL injection via subscription name
SQL injection in PostgreSQL pg_createsubscriber allows an attacker with pg_create_subscription rights to execute arbitrary SQL as a superuser. The attack takes effect when pg_createsubscriber next runs. Within major versions 17 and 18, minor versions before P…

PostgreSQL pg_basebackup and pg_rewind can overwrite unrelated files of origin superuser choice
Symlink following in PostgreSQL pg_basebackup plain format and in pg_rewind allows an origin superuser to overwrite local files, e.g. /var/lib/postgres/.bashrc, that hijack the operating system account. It will remain the case that starting the server after t…

PostgreSQL server undersizes allocations, via integer wraparound
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 applic…

PostgreSQL CREATE TYPE does not check multirange schema CREATE privilege
Missing authorization in PostgreSQL CREATE TYPE allows an object creator to hijack other queries that use search_path to find user-defined types, including extension-defined types. That is to say, the victim will execute arbitrary SQL functions of the attacke…

PostgreSQL missing validation of multibyte character length executes arbitrary code
Missing validation of multibyte character length in PostgreSQL text manipulation allows a database user to issue crafted queries that achieve a buffer overrun. That suffices to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. Versions…

PostgreSQL oidvector discloses a few bytes of memory
Improper validation of type "oidvector" in PostgreSQL allows a database user to disclose a few bytes of server memory. We have not ruled out viability of attacks that arrange for presence of confidential information in disclosed bytes, but they seem unlikely.…

PostgreSQL libpq undersizes allocations, via integer wraparound
Integer wraparound in multiple PostgreSQL libpq client library functions allows an application input provider or network peer to cause libpq to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds by hundreds of megabytes. This results in a segmentation fault for …

PostgreSQL optimizer statistics can expose sampled data within a view, partition, or child table
PostgreSQL optimizer statistics allow a user to read sampled data within a view that the user cannot access. Separately, statistics allow a user to read sampled data that a row security policy intended to hide. PostgreSQL maintains statistics for tables by sa…
