CVE-2026-6477

Use of inherently dangerous function PQfn..., resultisint=0, ... in PostgreSQL libpq loexport, loread, lolseek64, and lotell64 functions allows the server superuser to overwrite a client stack buffer with an arbitrarily-large response. Like gets, PQfn..., resultisint=0, ... stores arbitrary-lengt...

CVE-2026-6575

Buffer over-read in PostgreSQL function pgrestoreattributestats accepts array values of unmatched length, which causes query planning to read past end of one array. This allows a table maintainer to infer memory values past that array end. Within major version 18, minor versions before PostgreSQL...

ALPINE-CVE-2026-6479

Uncontrolled recursion in PostgreSQL SSL and GSS negotiation allows an attacker able to connect to a PostgreSQL AFUNIX socket to achieve sustained denial of service. If SSL and GSS are both disabled, an attacker can do the same via access to a PostgreSQL TCP socket. Versions before PostgreSQL 18....

ALPINE-CVE-2026-6637

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 facilitate...

CVE-2026-6478

Covert timing channel in comparison of MD5-hashed password in PostgreSQL authentication allows an attacker to recover user credentials sufficient to authenticate. This does not affect scram-sha-256 passwords, the default in all supported releases. However, current databases may have MD5-hashed...

CVE-2026-6638

SQL injection in PostgreSQL logical replication ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION allows a subscriber table creator to execute arbitrary SQL with the subscription's publication-side credentials. The attack takes effect at the next REFRESH PUBLICATION. Within major versions 16, 17, and 18...

ALPINE-CVE-2026-6476

SQL injection in PostgreSQL pgcreatesubscriber allows an attacker with pgcreatesubscription rights to execute arbitrary SQL as a superuser. The attack takes effect when pgcreatesubscriber next runs. Within major versions 17 and 18, minor versions before PostgreSQL 18.4 and 17.10 are affected...

CVE-2026-6475

Symlink following in PostgreSQL pgbasebackup plain format and in pgrewind allows an origin superuser to overwrite local files, e.g. /var/lib/postgres/.bashrc, that hijack the operating system account. It will remain the case that starting the server after these commands implicitly trusts the orig...

ALPINE-CVE-2026-6472

Missing authorization in PostgreSQL CREATE TYPE allows an object creator to hijack other queries that use searchpath to find user-defined types, including extension-defined types. That is to say, the victim will execute arbitrary SQL functions of the attacker's choice. Versions before PostgreSQL...

ALPINE-CVE-2026-6473

Integer wraparound in multiple PostgreSQL server features allows an unprivileged database user to cause the server to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds. This may execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. In applications that pass gigabyte-scale user...

ALPINE-CVE-2026-6474

Externally-controlled format string in PostgreSQL timeofday function allows an attacker to retrieve portions of server memory, via crafted timezone zones. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected...
