CVE-2026-48773

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

ProxySQL is a proxy for MySQL and its forks, as well as PostgreSQL. Versions 2.0.18 through 3.0.8 have a pre-authentication heap memory corruption vulnerability in the MySQL and PostgreSQL protocol first-read paths. A remote unauthenticated client can declare an oversized first packet length, and ProxySQL passes that attacker-controlled length directly to `recv()` while writing into a fixed 32 KB input queue. Version 3.0.9 patches the issue.

Las versiones 2.0.18 a la 3.0.8 tienen una vulnerabilidad de corrupción de memoria de pila pre-autenticación en las rutas de primera lectura del protocolo MySQL y PostgreSQL. Un cliente remoto no autenticado puede declarar una longitud de primer paquete excesiva, y ProxySQL pasa esa longitud controlada por el atacante directamente a ’recv()’ mientras escribe en una cola de entrada fija de 32 KB. La versión 3.0.9 corrige el problema."
