Breaking changes

breaking Fix incomplete removal of relation references in RestrictInfo structs during join removal (Tom Lane) This oversight has been shown to result in planner failures such as unexpected “FULL JOIN is only supported with merge-joinable or hash-joinable join conditions” errors. It may also have caused… in 17.10

Security changes

security Restrict logical decoding output plugins to the set specified by a new server parameter output_plugin_libraries (Jacob Champion) Previously, a replication user could select any loadable library for logical decoding, allowing exploits of various sorts. To allow locking this down without breaking… in 17.11
security Fix contrib/pgcrypto's PGP encryption to detect unsupported ciphers (Daniel Gustafsson) Previously, if OpenSSL rejected the requested cipher (for example, because it is running in FIPS mode, or the legacy provider hasn't been loaded), pgcrypto failed to notice the failure and simply XOR'd the… in 17.11
security Fix psql to skip in-line data following a scripted COPY ... FROM STDIN command, even if the COPY fails before sending PGRES_COPY_IN (Tom Lane) Previously, if a COPY command failed at startup (for instance, because the target table doesn't exist) psql would not realize that and would proceed to… in 17.11
security Cross-check the output row type of a portal running EXECUTE or FETCH (Robert Haas) EXECUTE and FETCH use two portals: an outer one for the statement itself, and an inner one running the query being executed on its behalf. It was previously possible to make the declared row types of the two portals… in 17.11
security Fix buffer overrun with long time zone abbreviation in to_char() (Tom Lane) This can easily crash the server, and exploits leading to arbitrary code execution have been reported. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Hcamael, Amjad Shahzad, Tan Zhen of AntAISecurityLab, Tomer Fichman, Zheng Yu, Amy… in 17.11
security Fix buffer overrun in regexp match/split functions (Masahiko Sawada) If passed invalidly-encoded data, these functions could write past the end of their conversion buffer. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Francesco Verardi for reporting this problem. (CVE-2026-14664) in 17.11
security Harden the ascii() function against invalid input (Michael Paquier) By supplying invalidly-encoded input, this function could be coaxed to read and return a few bytes of data that it shouldn't. In assert-enabled builds, its assertions could be triggered too. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Hcamael… in 17.11
security Fix multirange type handling in pg_restore_attribute_stats() (OpenAI Security Research Team) pg_restore_attribute_stats() treated multirange types just like their underlying range type. This works correctly for the bounds histogram, but it was wrong for all the other statistics kinds. The… in 17.11
security Make scalarineqsel() check that a constant it expects to be of type tid actually is (Tom Lane) This expectation will hold for all the built-in operators that use this estimator, but a maliciously-constructed operator could violate it, leading to a crash or server memory disclosure. The PostgreSQL… in 17.11
security Harden tsvector and tsquery code against overly long values (both individual lexemes and total vector/query length) (Tom Lane) The documented limits were not enforced in all code paths. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Yuhang Wu, Zhenpeng Lin, Zheng Yu, and Hcamael for reporting these problems.… in 17.11
security Fix various places that mistakenly assumed they would not have to deal with more than FUNC_MAX_ARGS function arguments (Tom Lane) Notably, the server's actual limit on the number of arguments to an aggregate function is FUNC_MAX_ARGS - 1, but the parser failed to enforce that, creating hazards… in 17.11
security Reject calls from SQL to functions that take or return type internal (Tom Lane) The existing defenses against doing this have been shown to be insufficient, so add more explicit checks. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Amy Burnett (OpenAI Codex Security) for reporting this problem. (CVE-2026-14680) in 17.11
security Preserve the ownership of extended statistics objects when they are rebuilt by ALTER TABLE (Masahiko Sawada) Previously, the role running ALTER TABLE gained ownership of such objects, but that seems inappropriate. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Noah Misch for reporting this problem. (CVE-2026-6469) in 17.11
security When deparsing an EXTRACT() function call, quote the field name if needed (Nathan Bossart) The parser accepts any string literal as a field name in EXTRACT(), deferring validation to execution. If the call is stored and deparsed (for example during pg_dump), the string body was regurgitated… in 17.11
security Check for USAGE privilege on data types in places that formerly failed to check that (Nathan Bossart) CREATE TYPE AS RANGE did not check, nor did ALTER TABLE OF, nor did commands that create stored expressions. These omissions allowed roles without USAGE privilege to nonetheless create objects… in 17.11
security Invalidate role-dependent cached plans after role changes (Ilya Staroverov, Shinya Kato, Nathan Bossart) Role membership, role attribute, and database ownership changes may impact the expected behavior of row-level security policies, but previously we'd continue to use cached plans that were made… in 17.11
security Reject GSSEncRequest after direct SSL connection (Michael Paquier) After establishing a TLS-encrypted connection, the server would still accept a request for GSSAPI encryption. If that succeeded, the connection would proceed using TLS encryption, but it would look like a GSS connection to the… in 17.11
security Make mock SCRAM authentication secrets more plausible (Nathan Bossart) If a SCRAM login is attempted against a role that doesn't exist or doesn't have a SCRAM secret, we generate a mock secret and carry out the authentication handshake anyway, to avoid revealing these facts to an attacker. But the… in 17.11
security Fix out-of-bounds writes in ecpg applications caused by invalid bytea data received from the server (Michael Paquier) ecpg assumed without checking that any bytea value must begin with \x. A broken or malicious server might send a string shorter than 2 bytes, resulting in memory clobber in the… in 17.11
security Do not do backquote expansion on the argument of psql's \unrestrict command (Nathan Bossart) This oversight in the fix for CVE-2025-8714 allows a malicious server to inject shell commands into plain-text dump output that will be run at restore time on the machine running psql, the exact scenario… in 17.11
security Remove pg_dump's assumption that pg_proc.protrftypes cannot have more than FUNC_MAX_ARGS entries (Tom Lane) Since there could be entries for both input and output arguments, it's feasible for this array's length to exceed FUNC_MAX_ARGS (which constrains only input arguments). Even if that were not… in 17.11
security Harden PL/Perl against “tied” Perl arrays and hashes (Tom Lane) A tied object that doesn't behave like a regular one could lead to memory overwrite, or to constructing a corrupt result array (which would likely cause problems later). The PostgreSQL Project thanks Hcamael for reporting this… in 17.11
security Fix integer overflows in memory-allocation calculations in PL/Perl and PL/Tcl (Heikki Linnakangas) This is the same type of problem as CVE-2026-6473, just in a different part of the code, and is fixed in the same way. The PostgreSQL Project thanks the Tulya Project (Team Dhiutsa, Bitecope… in 17.11
security Ensure that contrib/amcheck functions restrict search_path before executing index expressions (Noah Misch) Because amcheck will run such index expressions as the owner of their tables, a caller could potentially hijack search_path-dependent functions to run arbitrary code as the table owner. By… in 17.11
security Fix integer overflows in contrib/fuzzystrmatch's levenshtein() and levenshtein_less_equal() functions (Nathan Bossart) Passing large cost values to these functions could cause integer overflows, thereby producing nonsensical results, and even causing out-of-bounds writes in some cases. The… in 17.11
security Fix buffer overrun in contrib/pg_stat_statements (Álvaro Herrera) Query normalization didn't accurately account for the amount of space the normalized string would require. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Sajeeb Lohani (with TrendAI Zero Day Initiative) and Yuelin Wang for reporting this problem.… in 17.11
security Fix datatype error in contrib/pg_trgm's GiST picksplit function (Heikki Linnakangas) This mistake resulted in reading past the end of the buffer, typically causing bad split decisions; but a crash could ensue if you're very unlucky. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Mehmet D. Ince for reporting this… in 17.11
security Remove the plan cache in contrib/refint (Ayush Tiwari) This caching behavior has several serious bugs, notably that check_foreign_key() embeds the new key values in its cascade-UPDATE queries, so a cached plan reuses the originally-needed values rather than the key values that should be used. The… in 17.11
security Clean up quoting of string parameters within constructed replication commands (Tom Lane) Various places that generate replication commands were not being adequately careful about quoting replication slot names and other parameters that need to be inserted into those commands. This could result in… in 17.11
security Avoid NULL-pointer dereference in contrib/refint's check_foreign_key() (Ayush Tiwari) In the on-update-cascade case, a null value of a referenced column led to a crash. This is an oversight in the fix for CVE-2026-6637, but the code that was there before that wasn't really right either. in 17.11
security Prevent unbounded recursion while processing startup packets (Michael Paquier) A malicious client could crash the connected backend by alternating rejected SSL and GSS encryption requests indefinitely. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Calif.io (in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research) for… in 17.10
security Fix assorted integer overflows in memory-allocation calculations (Tom Lane, Nathan Bossart, Heikki Linnakangas) Various places were incautious about the possibility of integer overflow in calculations of how much memory to allocate. Overflow would lead to allocating a too-small buffer which the… in 17.10
security Properly quote subscription names in pg_createsubscriber (Nathan Bossart) The given subscription name was inserted into SQL commands without quoting, so that SQL injection could be achieved in the (perhaps unlikely) case that the subscription name comes from an untrusted source. The PostgreSQL… in 17.10
security Properly quote object names in logical replication origin checks (Pavel Kohout) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION interpolated schema and relation names into SQL commands without quoting them, allowing execution of arbitrary SQL on the publisher. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Pavel Kohout… in 17.10
security Reject over-length options in ts_headline() (Michael Paquier) The StartSel, StopSel and FragmentDelimiter strings must not exceed 32Kb in length, but this was not checked for. An over-length value would typically crash the server. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Xint Code for reporting this problem.… in 17.10
security Guard against malicious time zone names in timeofday() and pg_strftime() (Tom Lane) A crafted time zone setting could pass % sequences to snprintf(), potentially causing crashes or disclosure of server memory. Another path to similar results was to overflow the limited-size output buffer used by… in 17.10
security When creating a multirange type, ensure the user has CREATE privilege on the schema specified for the multirange type (Jelte Fennema-Nio) The multirange type can be put into a different schema than its parent range type, but we neglected to apply the required privilege check when doing so. The… in 17.10
security Use timing-safe string comparisons in authentication code (Michael Paquier) Use timingsafe_bcmp() instead of memcmp() or strcmp() when checking passwords, hashes, etc. It is not known whether the data dependency of those functions is usefully exploitable in any of these places, but in the… in 17.10
security Mark PQfn() as unsafe, and avoid using it within libpq (Nathan Bossart) For a non-integral result type, PQfn() is not passed the size of the output buffer, so it cannot check that the data returned by the server will fit. A malicious server could therefore overwrite client memory. This is… in 17.10
security Prevent path traversal in pg_basebackup and pg_rewind (Michael Paquier) These applications failed to validate output file paths read from their input, so that a malicious source could overwrite any file writable by these applications. Constrain where data can be written by rejecting paths that are… in 17.10
security Guard against field overflow within contrib/intarray's query_int type and contrib/ltree's ltxtquery type (Tom Lane) Parsing of these query structures did not check for overflow of 16-bit fields, so that construction of an invalid query tree was possible. This can crash the server when executing… in 17.10
security Guard against overly long values of contrib/ltree's lquery type (Michael Paquier) Values with more than 64K items caused internal overflows, potentially resulting in stack smashes or wrong answers. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Vergissmeinnicht, A1ex, and Jihe Wang for reporting this problem.… in 17.10
security Prevent SQL injection and buffer overruns in contrib/spi (Nathan Bossart) check_foreign_key() was insufficiently careful about quoting key values, and also used fixed-length buffers for constructing queries. While this module is only meant as example code, it still shouldn't contain such dangerous… in 17.10
security Prevent buffer overruns when parsing an affix file for an Ispell dictionary (Tom Lane) A corrupt or malicious affix file could crash the server. This is not considered a security issue because text search configuration files are presumed trustworthy, but it still seems worth fixing. in 17.10
security Ensure that tuplestore data structures are internally consistent even after an error (Tom Lane) The code was previously careless about this, which is fine most of the time but is problematic for the tuplestore backing a WITH HOLD cursor. In v15 and before this leads to easily-reproducible crashes;… in 17.10
security Avoid incorrect complaint of invalid encoding when substring() is applied to “toasted” data (Noah Misch) The fix for CVE-2026-2006 was too aggressive and could raise an error about an incomplete character in cases that are actually valid. in 17.9
security Guard against unexpected dimensions of oidvector/int2vector (Tom Lane) These data types are expected to be 1-dimensional arrays containing no nulls, but there are cast pathways that permit violating those expectations. Add checks to some functions that were depending on those expectations without… in 17.8
security Harden selectivity estimators against being attached to operators that accept unexpected data types (Tom Lane) contrib/intarray contained a selectivity estimation function that could be abused for arbitrary code execution, because it did not check that its input was of the expected data type.… in 17.8
security Fix buffer overrun in contrib/pgcrypto's PGP decryption functions (Michael Paquier) Decrypting a crafted message with an overlength session key caused a buffer overrun, with consequences as bad as arbitrary code execution. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Team Xint Code, as part of zeroday.cloud, for… in 17.8
security Fix inadequate validation of multibyte character lengths (Thomas Munro, Noah Misch) Assorted bugs allowed an attacker able to issue crafted SQL to overrun string buffers, with consequences as bad as arbitrary code execution. After these fixes, applications may observe “invalid byte sequence for… in 17.8

fixFix incorrect join removal logic (Matheus Alcantara, Richard Guo) In edge cases, it was possible for a constant output value coming from within the nullable side of an outer join to not be replaced by NULL when it should be.

featureAdd missed checks for hashability of equality comparisons on container datatypes (arrays, composites, ranges) (Andrei Lepikhov, Tom Lane) The planner must verify hashability of the container's component type(s) before deciding it can use a hash-based plan type. This step was missed in some places,…

featureHonor query cancel and vacuum delay during GIN index posting-tree cleanup (Paul Kim, Alexander Korotkov) The posting tree for a common value can be large, so that this missed check could allow vacuum to run for a long time before noticing an interrupt.

featureEnsure that the new last block of a bulk-extended table is added to its free space map promptly (Jingtang Zhang) An off-by-one error caused the last block of a multi-block table extension to not be marked as free in the map. This would eventually get corrected by vacuum, but meanwhile the space…

securityClean up quoting of string parameters within constructed replication commands (Tom Lane) Various places that generate replication commands were not being adequately careful about quoting replication slot names and other parameters that need to be inserted into those commands. This could result in…

featureAllow libpq to accept ParameterDescription messages exceeding 30000 bytes (Ning Sun) Previously, this message type was not among those that libpq's validity heuristics believed could be long. The limit resulted in failure for prepared queries having more than 7498 parameters, which is unlikely but…

featureReject multiple descriptor header items in ecpg's GET/SET DESCRIPTOR statements (Masashi Kamura) Previously the grammar allowed this syntax, but broken C code was generated. Adjust the grammar and the documentation to allow only one header item.

securityAvoid NULL-pointer dereference in contrib/refint's check_foreign_key() (Ayush Tiwari) In the on-update-cascade case, a null value of a referenced column led to a crash. This is an oversight in the fix for CVE-2026-6637, but the code that was there before that wasn't really right either.

featureUpdate time zone data files to tzdata release 2026c (Tom Lane) Alberta (America/Edmonton) will be on year-round UTC-06 (effectively, permanent DST) beginning in November 2026. This release assumes that their TZ abbreviation will be CST from that time forward. That seems likely to change, but it's…

securityPrevent unbounded recursion while processing startup packets (Michael Paquier) A malicious client could crash the connected backend by alternating rejected SSL and GSS encryption requests indefinitely. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Calif.io (in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research) for…

securityFix assorted integer overflows in memory-allocation calculations (Tom Lane, Nathan Bossart, Heikki Linnakangas) Various places were incautious about the possibility of integer overflow in calculations of how much memory to allocate. Overflow would lead to allocating a too-small buffer which the…

securityProperly quote subscription names in pg_createsubscriber (Nathan Bossart) The given subscription name was inserted into SQL commands without quoting, so that SQL injection could be achieved in the (perhaps unlikely) case that the subscription name comes from an untrusted source. The PostgreSQL…

securityProperly quote object names in logical replication origin checks (Pavel Kohout) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION interpolated schema and relation names into SQL commands without quoting them, allowing execution of arbitrary SQL on the publisher. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Pavel Kohout…

securityReject over-length options in ts_headline() (Michael Paquier) The StartSel, StopSel and FragmentDelimiter strings must not exceed 32Kb in length, but this was not checked for. An over-length value would typically crash the server. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Xint Code for reporting this problem.…

securityGuard against malicious time zone names in timeofday() and pg_strftime() (Tom Lane) A crafted time zone setting could pass % sequences to snprintf(), potentially causing crashes or disclosure of server memory. Another path to similar results was to overflow the limited-size output buffer used by…

securityWhen creating a multirange type, ensure the user has CREATE privilege on the schema specified for the multirange type (Jelte Fennema-Nio) The multirange type can be put into a different schema than its parent range type, but we neglected to apply the required privilege check when doing so. The…

securityUse timing-safe string comparisons in authentication code (Michael Paquier) Use timingsafe_bcmp() instead of memcmp() or strcmp() when checking passwords, hashes, etc. It is not known whether the data dependency of those functions is usefully exploitable in any of these places, but in the…

securityMark PQfn() as unsafe, and avoid using it within libpq (Nathan Bossart) For a non-integral result type, PQfn() is not passed the size of the output buffer, so it cannot check that the data returned by the server will fit. A malicious server could therefore overwrite client memory. This is…

securityPrevent path traversal in pg_basebackup and pg_rewind (Michael Paquier) These applications failed to validate output file paths read from their input, so that a malicious source could overwrite any file writable by these applications. Constrain where data can be written by rejecting paths that are…

securityGuard against field overflow within contrib/intarray's query_int type and contrib/ltree's ltxtquery type (Tom Lane) Parsing of these query structures did not check for overflow of 16-bit fields, so that construction of an invalid query tree was possible. This can crash the server when executing…

securityGuard against overly long values of contrib/ltree's lquery type (Michael Paquier) Values with more than 64K items caused internal overflows, potentially resulting in stack smashes or wrong answers. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Vergissmeinnicht, A1ex, and Jihe Wang for reporting this problem.…

securityPrevent SQL injection and buffer overruns in contrib/spi (Nathan Bossart) check_foreign_key() was insufficiently careful about quoting key values, and also used fixed-length buffers for constructing queries. While this module is only meant as example code, it still shouldn't contain such dangerous…

breakingFix incomplete removal of relation references in RestrictInfo structs during join removal (Tom Lane) This oversight has been shown to result in planner failures such as unexpected “FULL JOIN is only supported with merge-joinable or hash-joinable join conditions” errors. It may also have caused…

fixFix incorrect handling of NEW generated columns in rule actions and rule qualifications (Richard Guo, Dean Rasheed) Previously, such column references would produce NULL in INSERT cases, or be equivalent to the OLD value in UPDATE cases.

fixFix spurious “generated columns are not supported in COPY FROM WHERE conditions” errors (Tom Lane) Use of a system column in a COPY FROM WHERE condition could sometimes incorrectly report this error.

fixFix CREATE TABLE ... LIKE ... INCLUDING STATISTICS for cases where the source table has dropped column(s) (Julien Tachoires) In such cases, extended statistics objects could be copied incorrectly, or the command could give an incorrect error.

featureAllow ALTER INDEX ... ATTACH PARTITION to mark the parent index valid if appropriate (Sami Imseih) There are edge cases in which a partitioned index might remain marked as invalid even when all its leaf indexes are valid. This change provides a mechanism whereby a user can correct such a situation…

fixFix ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER to not drop the wrapper object's dependency on its handler function (Jeff Davis)

fixFix datum-image comparisons to be insensitive to sign-extension variations (David Rowley) This fixes some situations that previously led to “could not find memoization table entry” errors or wrong query results.

fixFix incorrect logic for hashed IN/NOT IN with non-strict equality operator (Chengpeng Yan) The previous coding could crash or give wrong answers. All built-in data types have strict equality operators, so that this issue could only arise with an extension data type.

securityPrevent buffer overruns when parsing an affix file for an Ispell dictionary (Tom Lane) A corrupt or malicious affix file could crash the server. This is not considered a security issue because text search configuration files are presumed trustworthy, but it still seems worth fixing.

fixFix array_agg_array_combine() to combine the arrays' null bitmaps correctly (Dmytro Astapov) This mistake resulted in sometimes-incorrect output from parallelized array_agg(anyarray) calculations.

fixFix incorrect behavior of pg_stat_reset_single_table_counters() on a shared catalog (Chao Li) Such cases had a side-effect of resetting the current database's stat_reset_timestamp, which was unintended.

fixFix “no relation entry for relid 0” failure while estimating array lengths in set operations (Tender Wang)

fixFix buffer overread when pglz_decompress() receives corrupt input (Andrew Dunstan) It was possible to read a few bytes past the end of the input, which in very unlucky cases might cause a crash.

fixFix incremental JSON parser's handling of numeric tokens that cross input buffer boundaries (Andrew Dunstan) It was possible to accept an incorrectly-formatted number, leading to failures later.

fixFix excessive log output from idle slotsync worker processes (Zhijie Hou)

securityEnsure that tuplestore data structures are internally consistent even after an error (Tom Lane) The code was previously careless about this, which is fine most of the time but is problematic for the tuplestore backing a WITH HOLD cursor. In v15 and before this leads to easily-reproducible crashes;…

fixFix premature NULL lag reporting in pg_stat_replication (Shinya Kato) The lag columns frequently read as NULL even while replication activity was happening.

fixFix underestimate of required size of DSA page maps for odd-size segments (Paul Bunn) This miscalculation led to out-of-bounds accesses and hence server crashes.

fixFix indexing of oldest-multixact arrays in shared memory (Yura Sokolov) This mistake could cause a prepared-but-not-yet-committed transaction's row locks to appear invisible to other sessions, or other visibility issues for the results of such a transaction. With a very small max_connections…

fixFix possible server crash when processing extended statistics on expressions of extension data types (Michael Paquier) NULL pointer dereferences were possible if the data type's typanalyze function does not compute any useful statistics. No in-core typanalyze function behaves that way, but…

fixFix minor memory leaks in ICU-based string processing (Jeff Davis)

fixFix race condition between WAL replay of checkpoints and multixact ID creations (Heikki Linnakangas) A standby server following WAL from a primary of an older minor version could get into a crash-and-restart loop complaining about “could not access status of transaction”.

fixFix crashes in some ecpg functions when called without any established connection (Shruthi Gowda)

fixFix assorted bugs in backup decompression and tar-parsing code (Andrew Dunstan, Tom Lane, Chao Li) The decompression and tar-file reading code used in pg_basebackup and pg_verifybackup mishandled tar-file padding data, could corrupt LZ4-compressed data in edge cases, failed to check for some…

featureIn contrib/basic_archive, allow the archive directory to be missing at startup (Nathan Bossart) Previously, the setting of basic_archive.archive_directory was rejected if it didn't point to an existing directory. This is undesirable because archiving will be stuck indefinitely, even if the…

fixFix contrib/ltree to cope when case-folding changes a string's byte length (Jeff Davis) Previously, lquery patterns specifying case-insensitive matching might fail to match labels they should match.

featureUpdate time zone data files to tzdata release 2026b (Tom Lane) British Columbia (America/Vancouver) will be on year-round UTC-07 (effectively, permanent DST) beginning in November 2026. This release assumes that their TZ abbreviation will be MST from that time forward. That seems likely to change,…

fixFix failure after replaying a multixid truncation record from WAL that was generated by an older minor version (Heikki Linnakangas) Erroneous logic for coping with the way that previous versions handled multixid wraparound led to replay failure, with messages like “could not access status of…

securityAvoid incorrect complaint of invalid encoding when substring() is applied to “toasted” data (Noah Misch) The fix for CVE-2026-2006 was too aggressive and could raise an error about an incomplete character in cases that are actually valid.

fixFix computation of the set of potentially-nulling outer joins for the output of a LATERAL UNION ALL subquery (Richard Guo) This error could lead to skipping NOT NULL tests in the mistaken belief that they were unnecessary, resulting in wrong query output.

fixFix pg_stat_get_backend_wait_event() and pg_stat_get_backend_wait_event_type() to report values for auxiliary processes (Heikki Linnakangas) Previously these functions returned NULL for auxiliary processes, but that's inconsistent with the pg_stat_activity view.

fixFix casting a composite-type variable to a domain type when returning its value from a PL/pgSQL function (Tom Lane) If the variable's value is NULL, a “cache lookup failed for type 0” error resulted.

fixFix potential null pointer dereference in contrib/hstore's binary input function (Michael Paquier) hstore's receive function crashed on input containing duplicate keys. hstore values generated by Postgres would never contain duplicate keys, so this mistake has gone unnoticed. The crash could be…

17.8 Feb 12, 2026 Release notes ↗

securityGuard against unexpected dimensions of oidvector/int2vector (Tom Lane) These data types are expected to be 1-dimensional arrays containing no nulls, but there are cast pathways that permit violating those expectations. Add checks to some functions that were depending on those expectations without…

securityHarden selectivity estimators against being attached to operators that accept unexpected data types (Tom Lane) contrib/intarray contained a selectivity estimation function that could be abused for arbitrary code execution, because it did not check that its input was of the expected data type.…

securityFix buffer overrun in contrib/pgcrypto's PGP decryption functions (Michael Paquier) Decrypting a crafted message with an overlength session key caused a buffer overrun, with consequences as bad as arbitrary code execution. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Team Xint Code, as part of zeroday.cloud, for…

securityFix inadequate validation of multibyte character lengths (Thomas Munro, Noah Misch) Assorted bugs allowed an attacker able to issue crafted SQL to overrun string buffers, with consequences as bad as arbitrary code execution. After these fixes, applications may observe “invalid byte sequence for…

featureDon't allow CTE references in sub-selects to determine semantic levels of aggregate functions (Tom Lane) This change undoes a change made two minor releases ago, instead throwing an error if a sub-select references a CTE that's below the semantic level that standard SQL rules would assign to the…

fixFix trigger transition table capture for MERGE in CTE queries (Dean Rasheed) When executing a data-modifying CTE query containing both a MERGE and another DML operation on a table with statement-level AFTER triggers, the transition tables passed to the triggers would not include the rows affected…

fixFix failure when all children of a partitioned target table of an update or delete have been pruned (Amit Langote) In such cases, the executor could report “could not find junk ctid column” errors, even though nothing needs to be done.

otherAvoid possible planner failure when a query contains duplicate window function calls (Meng Zhang, David Rowley) Confusion over de-duplication of such calls could result in errors like “WindowFunc with winref 2 assigned to WindowAgg with winref 1”.

featureAllow indexscans on partial hash indexes even when the index's predicate implies the truth of the WHERE clause (Tom Lane) Normally we drop a WHERE clause that is implied by the predicate, since it's pointless to test it; it must hold for every index entry. However that can prevent creation of an…

fixDo not emit WAL for unlogged BRIN indexes (Kirill Reshke) One seldom-taken code path incorrectly emitted a WAL record relating to a BRIN index even if the index was marked unlogged. Crash recovery would then fail to replay that record, complaining that the file already exists.

otherPrevent truncation of CLOG that is still needed by unread NOTIFY messages (Joel Jacobson, Heikki Linnakangas) This fix prevents “could not access status of transaction” errors when a backend is slow to absorb NOTIFY messages.

featureEscalate errors occurring during NOTIFY message processing to FATAL, i.e. close the connection (Heikki Linnakangas) Formerly, if a backend got an error while absorbing a NOTIFY message, it would advance past that message, report the error to the client, and move on. That behavior was fraught with…

fixFix erroneous counting of updates in EXPLAIN ANALYZE MERGE with a concurrent update (Dean Rasheed) This situation led to an incorrect count of “skipped” tuples in EXPLAIN's output, or to an assertion failure in an assert-enabled build.

fixFix bug in following update chain when locking a tuple (Jasper Smit) This code path neglected to check the xmin of the first new tuple in the update chain, making it possible to lock an unrelated tuple if the original updater aborted and the space was immediately reclaimed by VACUUM and then…

fixFix issues around in-place catalog updates (Noah Misch) Send a nontransactional invalidation message for an in-place update, since such an update will survive transaction rollback. Also ensure that the update is WAL-logged before other sessions can see it. These fixes primarily prevent scenarios…

fixFix incorrect handling of incremental backups of large tables (Robert Haas, Oleg Tkachenko) If a table exceeding 1GB (or in general, the installation's segment size) is truncated by VACUUM between the base backup and the incremental backup, pg_combinebackup could fail with an error about…

fixFix potential backend process crash at process exit due to trying to release a lock in an already-unmapped shared memory segment (Rahila Syed)

fixGuard against incorrect truncation of the multixact log after a crash (Heikki Linnakangas)

fixFix possibly mis-encoded result of pg_stat_get_backend_activity() (Chao Li) The shared-memory buffer holding a session's activity string can end with an incomplete multibyte character. Readers are supposed to truncate off any such incomplete character, but this function failed to do so.

fixFix memory context usage when reinitializing a parallel execution context (Jakub Wartak, Jeevan Chalke) This error could result in a crash due to a subsidiary data structure having a shorter lifespan than the parallel context. The problem is not known to be reachable using only core PostgreSQL,…

featureSet next multixid's offset when creating a new multixid, to remove the wait loop that was needed in corner cases (Andrey Borodin) The previous logic could get stuck waiting for an update that would never occur.

featureAllow retrying initialization of a DSM registry entry (Nathan Bossart) If we fail partway through initialization of a dynamic shared memory entry, allow the next attempt to use that entry to retry initialization. Previously the entry was left in a permanently-failed state.

fixFail recovery if WAL does not exist back to the redo point indicated by the checkpoint record (Nitin Jadhav) Add an explicit check for this before starting recovery, so that no harm is done and a useful error message is provided. Previously, recovery might crash or corrupt the database in this…

featurePrevent invalidation of newly created or newly synced replication slots (Zhijie Hou) A race condition with a concurrent checkpoint could allow WAL to be removed that is needed by the replication slot, causing the slot to immediately get marked invalid.

fixFix race condition in computing a replication slot's required xmin (Zhijie Hou) This could lead to the error “cannot build an initial slot snapshot as oldest safe xid follows snapshot's xmin”.

featureDuring initial synchronization of a logical replication subscription, commit the addition of a pg_replication_origin entry before starting to copy data (Zhijie Hou) Previously, if the copy step failed, the new pg_replication_origin entry would be lost due to transaction rollback. This led to…

fixFix logical replication slotsync worker processes to handle LOCK_TIMEOUT signals correctly (Zhijie Hou) Previously, timeout signals were effectively ignored.

fixFix possible failure with “unexpected data beyond EOF” during restart of a streaming replica server (Anthonin Bonnefoy)

fixFix error reporting for SQL/JSON path type mismatches (Jian He) The code could produce a “cache lookup failed for type 0” error instead of the intended complaint about the path expression not being of the right type.

fixFix erroneous tracking of column position when parsing partition range bounds (myzhen) This could, for example, lead to the wrong column name being cited in error messages about casting partition bound values to the column's data type.

fixFix assorted minor errors in error messages (Man Zeng, Tianchen Zhang) For example, an error report about mismatched timeline number in a backup manifest showed the starting timeline number where it meant to show the ending timeline number.

fixFix failure to perform function inlining when doing JIT compilation with LLVM version 17 or later (Anthonin Bonnefoy)

featureAdd new server parameter file_extend_method to control use of posix_fallocate() (Thomas Munro) PostgreSQL version 16 and later will use posix_fallocate(), if the platform provides it, to extend relation files. However, this has been reported to interact poorly with some file systems: BTRFS…

fixFix failure to parse long options on the server command line in Solaris executables built with meson (Tom Lane)

fixFix incorrect error handling in pgbench with multiple \syncpipeline commands in pipeline mode (Yugo Nagata) If multiple \syncpipeline commands are encountered after a query error, pgbench would report “failed to exit pipeline mode”, or get an assertion failure in an assert-enabled build.

featureMake pg_resetwal allow setting next multixact xid to 0 or next multixact offset to UINT32_MAX (Maxim Orlov) These are valid values, so rejecting them was incorrect. In the worst case, if a pg_upgrade is attempted when exactly at the point of multixact wraparound, the upgrade would fail.

fixFix contrib/amcheck to handle “half-dead” btree index pages correctly (Heikki Linnakangas) amcheck expected such a page to have a parent downlink, but it does not, leading to a false error report about “mismatch between parent key and child high key”.

fixFix contrib/amcheck to handle incomplete btree root page splits correctly (Heikki Linnakangas) amcheck could report a false error about “block is not true root”.

fixFix edge-case integer overflow in contrib/intarray's selectivity estimator for @@ (Chao Li) This could cause poor selectivity estimates to be produced for cases involving the maximum integer value.

fixFix multibyte-encoding issue in contrib/ltree (Jeff Davis) The previous coding could pass an incomplete multibyte character to lower(), probably resulting in incorrect behavior.
