  - Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL pg_trgm allows a database user to achieve unknown impacts via a crafted
    input string. The attacker has limited control over the byte patterns to be written, but we have not ruled
    out the viability of attacks that lead to privilege escalation. PostgreSQL 18.1 and 18.0 are affected.
