  "details": "(This report has been withdrawn with reason: \"Report mistakenly added without having CVE / GHSA associated\"). github.com/lib/pq decodes attacker-controlled RowDescription and DataRow payloads without validating their structural relationship or encoded value widths required by binary decoders. A malicious PostgreSQL endpoint or active network attacker on an unauthenticated transport can send malformed row responses, causing unrecovered runtime panics while reading query results.",
