RHSA-2026:83843 PUBLISHED CVSS 8.800000190734863 HIGH

A flaw was found in PgBouncer. An integer overflow in the message buffer growth logic allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) when a large maximum packet size is configured. By sending a specially crafted packet header declaring an excessively large length, an attacker can trigger an infinite loop in the buffer calculation. Because PgBouncer handles connections in a single process, this loop consumes a full CPU core and halts all pooled connections until the process is restarted.
