Description
Turso through 0.8.0-pre.8 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the table-leaf page reader that uses an attacker-controlled cell-count field without bounds validation. Attackers can craft a malicious database file with a modified cell count value to trigger an index-out-of-bounds panic when querying, causing denial of service in any application that opens untrusted database files.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an out‑of‑bounds read in the table‑leaf page reader of Turso. The code uses a cell‑count field supplied by an attacker‑controlled database file, without performing bounds validation. By crafting a malicious database with an altered cell count, an attacker can trigger an index‑out‑of‑bounds panic when the file is queried, causing the application to crash and resulting in denial of service.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are installations of Turso database software through version 0.8.0-pre.8. These include any application that uses the Turso core storage module up to that pre‑release. The vendors affected are tursodatabase's Turso product.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.8 indicates moderate severity. Exploit availability is unclear because the EPSS score is not reported and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers likely need access to the victim’s file system to place a crafted database or must deliver the file through an unsecured input channel. If successful, the attack results in a crash that renders the application unavailable until restarted, which can disrupt services or deny access to legitimate users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Turso to version 0.8.0-pre.9 or later.
  • Validate that database files are from trusted sources before opening them.
  • Add bounds checking for the cell‑count field in the pager code if upgrading is not immediately possible.
