CVE-2026-107908 Details
Description
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.
A heap-based out-of-bounds write vulnerability has been identified in FalkorDB versions prior to 4.20.0. The issue arises in the BoltReadHandler function within the Bolt API. The vulnerability allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial-of-service and possibly execute arbitrary code by sending a Bolt RESET message with a manipulated chunk size to the Bolt port. The vulnerability is present only in deployments that enable the Bolt endpoint, as the size check in the handler is removed in release builds, leading to the exploitation.
Users can upgrade to FalkorDB version 4.20.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
