CVE-2019-16224
CriticalSummary
An issue was discovered in py-lmdb 0.97 where for certain values of md_flags, mdb_node_add does not properly set up a memcpy destination, leading to an invalid write operation. This occurs when accessing a data.mdb file supplied by an attacker.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform an invalid memory write, potentially causing application crashes or remote code execution if the application processes malicious data.mdb files.
Recommendation
Update py-lmdb to the latest version that includes a fix for this vulnerability. Avoid processing data.mdb files from untrusted sources.
