Description

A denial of service vulnerability present in ActiveRecord's PostgreSQL adapter <7.0.4.1 and <6.1.7.1. When a value outside the range for a 64bit signed integer is provided to the PostgreSQL connection adapter, it will treat the target column type as numeric. Comparing integer values against numeric values can result in a slow sequential scan resulting in potential Denial of Service.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 6.1.7.17.0.0 ≤ v < 7.0.4.1
Affected range stops below 6.1.7.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
Affected range stops below 7.0.4.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
