CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedAn integer wraparound vulnerability in PostgreSQL's fuzzystrmatch extension allows attackers to exploit the levenshtein() and levenshtein_less_equal() SQL functions, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the database's operating system user. This high-severity flaw affects multiple versions prior to 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24. Database administrators and organizations using vulnerable PostgreSQL versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
Integer wraparound in PostgreSQL fuzzystrmatch allows a user to direct writes to a huge range of addresses, executing arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via extreme inputs to SQL function levenshtein() or levenshtein_less_equal(). Versions before PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
