Description Srikanth Balasubramanian 2026-08-26 15:07:15 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.

Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL regexp allows the query author to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via text that would not pass encoding validation.  This shares heritage with CVE-2026-2006, but this case involved unanticipated data growth when round-tripped through pg_wchar.  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
