Description
FalkorDB (Redis module) v4.20.1 to v4.20.4 was discovered to contain a stack overflow in the _GetGroup() function (/ops/op_aggregate.c). This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.

AI Analysis

Impact

A stack overflow occurs in the _GetGroup() function of FalkorDB’s Redis module (ops/op_aggregate.c). When a crafted input is processed, the overflow corrupts the stack and crashes the module, resulting in service unavailability. The available information does not explicitly state that the flaw enables code execution or data disclosure, and that inference is therefore not confirmed; however, it can bring the entire Redis instance to a halt if the module is active.

Affected Systems

FalkorDB Redis module versions 4.20.1 through 4.20.4 are affected. The vulnerability exists within the module itself; any deployment that loads these versions into a Redis server is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score is less than 1% and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no documented public exploitation at this time. The most likely attack path involves a Redis client that can send commands to the module; a remote attacker with network access to the Redis instance could trigger the DoS by sending a malicious _GetGroup() request. Authentication is not required if the attacker can reach the instance, and no special conditions are noted.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest FalkorDB distribution that contains the stack overflow fix (CWE‑121).
  • If an upgrade cannot be applied immediately, limit external network access to the Redis server or temporarily disable the FalkorDB module to prevent malicious input exploiting unchecked buffer copy.
  • Enable stack protection and compile-time sanitizers to mitigate stack-based buffer overflow (CWE‑121) when recompiling the module.
  • Configure application‑level input validation and rate limiting on the _GetGroup() command to prevent repeated crash attempts.
