Title
PostgreSQL pg_trgm picksplit reads past end of buffer
Summary
Buffer over-read in PostgreSQL pg_trgm index picksplit function reads past end of a heap buffer. This might allow a table maintainer to infer limited memory values, via the lossy signal of index split choices. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
