Fixed versions are available starting from PostgreSQL 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20, and 14.25. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated.
Description
A vulnerability in PostgreSQL prior to versions 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20, and 14.25 allows a database user to disclose server memory due to improper null termination in array element assignment. This occurs when the final byte of a fixed-length name value is changed to a nonzero byte and then processed as a C string.
