CVE-2026-15742 is an integer-wraparound vulnerability in PostgreSQL's fuzzystrmatch extension. Extreme arguments supplied to the levenshtein() or levenshtein_less_equal() SQL functions can cause arithmetic to wrap, enabling writes across a very large, effectively arbitrary memory-address range. The memory corruption can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code in the operating-system context of the PostgreSQL database service account. Affected releases are PostgreSQL versions prior to 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24.
