Type confusion in PostgreSQL composite-value field assignment allows an object creator to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via changing a composite type between deforming and reforming a value. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20, and 14.25 are affected.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
