Description Srikanth Balasubramanian 2026-08-31 08:48:54 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Type confusion regarding input of PostgreSQL ctid data type selectivity estimator allows an object creator to view a calculation derived from the value of an arbitrary 4-byte span of memory, via a chosen non-ctid input.  While the calculation loses precision, substantial memory value recovery appears possible.  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
