SQL injection in PostgreSQL logical replication ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION allows a subscriber table creator to execute arbitrary SQL with the subscription's publication-side credentials. The attack takes effect at the next REFRESH PUBLICATION. Within major ver...

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 "refint" cascade primary...

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 version 18, minor v...

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 socket. Versions...

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, current databases ma...

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 gets(), PQfn(..., res...

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 PostgreSQL 18.4 and...

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 these commands impli...
