{"id":"BIT-postgresql-2026-16241","summary":"PostgreSQL ECPG integer underflow can crash the client","details":"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 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.","aliases":["CVE-2026-16241"],"modified":"2026-08-19T09:45:23.321944111Z","published":"2026-08-19T08:52:51.819Z","database_specific":{"severity":"Low","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:postgresql:postgresql:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-16241"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.postgresql.org/support/security/CVE-2026-16241/"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"postgresql","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/postgresql"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"14.24.0"},{"introduced":"15.0.0"},{"fixed":"15.19.0"},{"introduced":"16.0.0"},{"fixed":"16.15.0"},{"introduced":"17.0.0"},{"fixed":"17.11.0"},{"introduced":"18.0.0"},{"fixed":"18.5.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/postgresql/BIT-postgresql-2026-16241.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
