Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Denial of Service: Unvalidated packet lengths and malformed packet sequences in the PostgreSQL startup phase allow remote attackers to trigger unbounded buffer allocations, causing memory exhaustion and service crashes.
Denial of Service: Infinite loops can be triggered during parameter traversal in PostgreSQL Parse packet parsing if the loop index is not properly incremented when processing specific sequences.
Path Traversal: Missing input validation on client and zone identifiers in the keystore allows directory traversal attacks during key lookup or generation, potentially exposing or overwriting sensitive files.
