CVE-2026-25290 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in PHP's PDO PostgreSQL driver (pdo_pgsql). When emulated prepared statements are explicitly enabled, a query parameter containing a byte sequence invalid for the active PostgreSQL connection encoding can cause libpq to return a NULL escaped-string value. PDO subsequently attempts to obtain the length of that value without first verifying that it is non-NULL, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and PHP process segmentation fault.
