CVE-2026-16241— PostgreSQL ECPG integer underflow can crash the client

Quick assessment

Affected
n/a PostgreSQL
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

PostgreSQL是PostgreSQL组织开源的一套自由的对象关系型数据库管理系统。该系统支持大部分SQL标准并且提供了许多其他特性,例如外键、触发器、视图等。 PostgreSQL ECPG 18.5之前版本、17.11之前版本、16.15之前版本、15.19之前版本和14.24之前版本存在数字错误漏洞，该漏洞源于整数下溢，可能导致数据库服务器管理员通过发送缺少强制前缀的bytea值对ECPG客户端造成临时拒绝服务，覆盖巨大内存区域，通常导致段错误，罕见情况下可能影响客户端完整性。

Vulnerability Title
PostgreSQL ECPG integer underflow can crash the client
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Integer underflow in PostgreSQL ECPG allows a database server administrator to achieve temporary denial of service against the ECPG client via sending a bytea value lacking the mandatory prefix. The client overwrites a huge memory region with bytes outside attacker knowledge or control. This typically yields a simple SIGSEGV, but rare cases might achieve client-specific integrity impact via the write. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
