Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-13 15:34 – Updated: 2026-08-13 15:34Type confusion with PostgreSQL "internal" data type arguments allows any user to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via calls to functions with that argument type. Type "internal" represents a class of mutually-incompatible data structures not intended for access from SQL. The system intended to prevent such function calls, but this prevention had gaps. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-14 18:31 – Updated: 2024-07-09 12:30A vulnerability has been identified in PS/IGES Parasolid Translator Component (All versions < V27.1.215). The affected application contains a type confusion vulnerability while parsing IGS files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-21562)
