Summary

Type confusion regarding input of PostgreSQL ctid data type selectivity estimator allows an object creator to view a calculation derived from the value of an arbitrary 4-byte span of memory, via a chosen non-ctid input. While the calculation loses precision, substantial memory value recovery appears possible. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could gain access to server memory fragments, potentially leading to leakage of sensitive data such as keys or passwords.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade PostgreSQL to version 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, or 14.24 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
