Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

A use-after-free security issue exists in the server's query execution memory tracking subsystem. An authenticated user with read privileges can trigger a write to freed heap memory through a sequence of standard database commands, leading to server process crash or potential memory corruption. No user interaction is required.
