This security update for PostgreSQL 18 addresses multiple vulnerabilities affecting various components such as psql, logical decoding, pgcrypto, regexp, and others. The issues include heap buffer overflows that can lead to arbitrary code execution, type confusion, integer wraparound causing undersize allocations, privilege enforcement failures, and SQL injection risks. The update fixes these vulnerabilities to improve the security and stability of PostgreSQL 18 and related versions.

Incorrect ownership assignment in PostgreSQL ALTER TABLE ALTER TYPE command reassigns ownership of dependent statistics objects to the current user. This wrongly allows the table owner to run DROP STATISTICS and ALTER STATISTICS via this improper ownership. It wrongly denies those commands to the prior statistics object owner. DROP TABLE remains able to remove statistics objects, so this exploit achieves nothing in many ownership arrangements. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
