Summary
A flaw was found in the DataRow.Decode function within the github.com/jackc/pgproto3/v2 component. A malicious or compromised PostgreSQL server can exploit this by sending a DataRow message containing a negative field length. This improper validation of field lengths leads to a "slice bounds out of range panic", resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected application.

01

What, why and how

The DataRow.Decode function fails to properly validate field lengths. A malicious or compromised PostgreSQL server can send a DataRow message with a negative field length, causing a slice bounds out of range panic.

What

The DataRow.Decode function fails to properly validate field lengths. A malicious or compromised PostgreSQL server can send a DataRow message with a negative field length, causing a slice bounds out of range panic.

Why

The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

CISA Vulnrichment records proof-of-concept exploitation in its SSVC data. BlackTree has not independently executed or validated exploit material.

Likely attack path
a network path → Out-of-bounds Read → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-125

CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
