Impact
This vulnerability is an out‑of‑bounds null write that occurs when a CONNECT engine DOS table type processes data with an incorrect boundary check, allowing a stack buffer overflow at an attacker‑controlled offset. The single‑byte overwrite can corrupt stack memory, causing a crash and potentially enabling remote code execution. The weakness is classified as CWE‑787, reflecting a buffer overrun that writes beyond a boundary.
Affected Systems
MariaDB server community editions from 10.6.1 through 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2 are affected. These versions employ the CONNECT engine with the vulnerable DOS table type implementation.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 8.5, indicating high severity, while the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. An authenticated user who can invoke the CONNECT engine can trigger the stack corruption; the attack requires proper privileges to construct a malicious DOS table. Successful exploitation would lead to a database crash and could potentially allow arbitrary code execution on the host. The risk is thus medium to high for environments where the CONNECT engine is enabled for users with write permissions.
