CVE-2026-120067

MediumCVSS 5.9
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

For updatable cursors, which are enabled by default, psqlODBC adds hidden ctid and, for tables with OIDs, oid columns to the query. It copies each value into a 32-byte stack buffer using the length the server sent, without checking it against the buffer size, so a value of 32 bytes or more writes past the buffer. A server not trusted under current SSL settings can send such a value. So can any database user who can create a view with its own column named ctid that the application reads with an updatable cursor. Builds with _FORTIFY_SOURCE abort; other builds overwrite adjacent stack memory. Versions before psqlODBC 18.00.0006 are affected.

Risk Assessment

An untrusted server or database user can cause a stack overflow, leading to a crash or overwriting adjacent stack memory. This could potentially enable code execution or destabilize the application.

Recommendation

Update psqlODBC to version 18.00.0006 or later. Until then, consider disabling updatable cursors and limiting trust in database servers.
