CVE-2026-107908

CriticalCVSS 9.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A heap-based out-of-bounds write in the BoltReadHandler function (src/bolt/bolt_api.c) in FalkorDB before 4.20.0 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code by sending a Bolt RESET message with an attacker-chosen chunk size to the Bolt port. The handler checks the size only with ASSERT(), which is compiled out in release builds, then computes a destination pointer from the wire-supplied 16-bit size and moves buffered data up to about 64 KiB backwards past the start of the read buffer. Only deployments that enable the Bolt endpoint (BOLT_PORT, disabled by default) are affected.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could remotely cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code, leading to full system compromise. The risk applies only to systems with the Bolt port enabled.

Recommendation

Update FalkorDB to version 4.20.0 or later. If the Bolt port is not used, ensure it is disabled.
