AI-GeneratedA heap buffer overflow vulnerability in PostgreSQL's plperl allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the database's operating system user by crafting a malicious function body. This poses a significant risk to database integrity and security, particularly for organizations using affected versions prior to 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24. Database administrators and security teams should prioritize patching to mitigate potential exploitation.
