Pre-authentication heap out-of-bounds write in FalkorDB Bolt BoltReadHandler via RESET message

Published Oct 9, 2026 · Updated Oct 15, 2026 · Assigned by securin

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.
