Description Srikanth Balasubramanian 2026-08-26 16:57:22 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.

Integer wraparound in PostgreSQL fuzzystrmatch allows a user to direct writes to a huge range of addresses, executing arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via extreme inputs to SQL function levenshtein() or levenshtein_less_equal().  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
