CVE-2026-6473 Details
Description
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.
A vulnerability exists in multiple PostgreSQL server versions prior to 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23, allowing an unprivileged database user to exploit integer wraparound in certain server features. This exploitation can cause the server to undersize memory allocations, leading to out-of-bounds writes. Such behavior may allow for the execution of arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. Additionally, in applications that handle large user inputs in gigabyte-scale, this vulnerability could result in a segmentation fault.
Users can upgrade to PostgreSQL versions 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, or 14.23 to address this vulnerability.
