Summary
psqlODBC from 08.01.0102 before 18.00.0005 is affected. An integer wraparound in SQLBindParameter (CWE-190) occurs when the application binds parameter 32768, which corrupts heap memory. An attacker who controls how many parameters an application binds, such as through an IN list built from untrusted input, can crash the application or leave it running on a corrupted heap.

Description from the CNA
Integer wraparound in psqlODBC SQLBindParameter allows an application, or an attacker who controls how many parameters the application binds on one statement, to corrupt heap memory. psqlODBC stores the binding count in a signed 16-bit field. Binding parameter number 32768 wraps that count to -32768. Binding parameter 32769 then writes about 2.5 MB of zeros starting 1.25 MB before the binding array, which crashes the application or leaves it running on a corrupted heap. Applications that build parameter lists from untrusted input, such as an IN (?, ?, ...) list, are exposed. Versions before psqlODBC 18.00.0005 are affected.
