Vulnerability in surrealdb (CVE-2024-58359)

Summary

Vulnerability in surrealdb (CVE-2024-58359). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.1.0 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Sorting table records using an ORDER BY clause with the rand() function as sorting mechanism could cause a panic due to relying on a comparison function that did not implement total order. This event resulted in a panic due to a recent change in Rust 1.81.

Impact

A client that is authorized to run queries in a SurrealDB server would be able to query a table with ORDER BY rand() in order to potentially cause a panic in the sorting function. This would crash the server, leading to denial of service.

Patches

The sorting algorithm has been updated to guarantee total order when shuffling records.

  • Version 2.1.0 and later are not affected by this issue.

Workarounds

Affected users who are unable to update may want to limit the ability of untrusted clients to run arbitrary SurrealQL queries in the affected versions of SurrealDB. To limit the impact of the denial of service, SurrealDB administrators may also want to ensure that the SurrealDB process is running so that it can be automatically re-started after a crash.
