Description
Panic decoding a malformed
hstorevalue allows denial of service
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Package | postgres-protocol |
| Version | 0.6.9 |
| URL | https://github.com/rust-postgres/rust-postgres/commit/a7cf84b5c46431cbca9d8ff50508c23f446efa7d |
| Date | 2026-06-12 |
| Patched versions | >=0.6.12 |
A malicious or compromised server can return a binary hstore value with an
invalid internal length field, causing the client to panic while decoding it.
Applications that connect only to a trusted database are not exposed; the risk
applies to clients that may connect to untrusted or user-supplied servers, or
whose connection can be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle.
See advisory page for additional details.
