Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-14 14:01:56 UTC
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 key and facilitates user-controlled updates to that column.  In that case, a SQL injection allows a primary key update value provider to execute arbitrary SQL as the database user performing the primary key update.  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected.
