NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql:15/postgresql-docs package and not the postgresql:15/postgresql-docs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Uncontrolled recursion in PostgreSQL SSL and GSS negotiation allows an attacker able to connect to a PostgreSQL AF_UNIX socket to achieve sustained denial of service. If SSL and GSS are both disabled, an attacker can do the same via access to a PostgreSQL TCP socket. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected.
