Type "internal" represents a class of mutually-incompatible data structures not intended for access from SQL. The system intended to prevent such function calls, but this prevention had gaps. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected. ## Affected - `postgresql >= 14.0, < 14.24` - `postgresql >= 15.0, < 15.19` - `postgresql >= 16.0, < 16.15` - `postgresql >= 17.0, < 17.11` - `postgresql >= 18.0, < 18.5` ## Remediation Upgrade past the affected range: - `postgresql 18.5` ## Vendor advisories - **RHSA-2026:67280** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 10) · released 2026-09-14 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:67280) - **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Self-service automation portal 2 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Self-service automation portal 2 · updated 2026-09-24 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-14680.json) - **RHSA-2026:67491** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 9) · released 2026-09-15 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:67491) - **RHSA-2026:67848** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 9) · released 2026-09-16 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:67848) - **RHSA-2026:69698** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream EUS (v.9.6) · released 2026-09-21 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69698) - **RHSA-2026:70186** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 10) · released 2026-09-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70186) - **RHSA-2026:69923** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8) · released 2026-09-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69923) - **RHSA-2026:69876** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8) · released 2026-09-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69876) - **RHSA-2026:69914** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 9) · released 2026-09-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69914) - **RHSA-2026:69607** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 9), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 9) · released 2026-09-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69607) - **RHSA-2026:69924** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8) · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69924) - **RHSA-2026:70602** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream E4S (v.8.8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream TUS (v.8.8) · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70602) - **RHSA-2026:70763** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream E4S (v.9.2) · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70763) - **RHSA-2026:70762** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream E4S (v.9.4) · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70762) - **RHSA-2026:70856** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream E4S (v.9.4) · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70856) - **RHSA-2026:70559** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream EUS (v.9.6) · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70559)
