CVE-2026-70635
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
TimescaleDB through 2.29.1, fixed in commit 517c13e, contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to cause query-result integrity failures or backend crashes by supplying a crafted Simple8b selector-11 value, which is stored in the signed int16 Arrow dictionary-index type and bypasses index validation checks in bulk text dictionary decompression. Attackers with direct DML access to a non-frozen physical compressed hypertable relation can trigger an out-of-bounds read before the base of the live offsets array through the VectorAgg single-text hashing strategy, resulting in incorrect aggregation output, backend SIGSEGV, or PostgreSQL crash recovery depending on build configuration.

"value": "TimescaleDB hasta 2.29.1, corregido en el commit 517c13e, contiene una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de límites que permite a atacantes autenticados causar fallos de integridad en los resultados de consultas o caídas del backend al proporcionar un valor Simple8b selector-11 manipulado, que se almacena en el tipo de índice de diccionario Arrow int16 con signo y omite las comprobaciones de validación de índices en la descompresión masiva del diccionario de texto. Atacantes con acceso DML directo a una relación de hipertabla comprimida física no congelada pueden desencadenar una lectura fuera de límites antes de la base del array de offsets activos a través de la estrategia de hashing de texto único VectorAgg, lo que resulta en una salida de agregación incorrecta, SIGSEGV del backend o recuperación de fallos de PostgreSQL dependiendo de la configuración de compilación."
