Solution
Upgrade FalkorDB to version 4.20.0 or later. Bolt protocol support, including the code affected by this issue, was removed in 4.20.0.
Workaround
Leave the Bolt endpoint disabled (do not set the BOLT_PORT module configuration; it is disabled by default), or restrict network access to the Bolt port to trusted clients.

| 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. | |
