"The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 14 prior to 14.24, 15 prior to 15.19, 16 prior to 16.15, 17
prior to 17.11, or 18 prior to 18.6. As such, it is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Type confusion with PostgreSQL 'internal' data type arguments allows any user to execute arbitrary code as
    the operating system user running the database, via calls to functions with that argument type. Type
    'internal' represents a class of mutually-incompatible data structures not intended for access from SQL.
    The system intended to prevent such function calls, but this prevention had gaps. Versions before
    PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected. (CVE-2026-14680)

  - Integer wraparound in PostgreSQL tsvector and tsquery data type functions allows an unprivileged database
    user to cause the server to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds, via crafted large inputs. This
    may execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. Versions before PostgreSQL
    18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected. (CVE-2026-14662)

  - 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 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected. (CVE-2026-14664)

number.");
