Database server crash via exp_ref query processing
Published Jan 14, 2025 · Updated Jan 14, 2025
Denial of service in MonetDB Server 11.49.1 allows remote attackers to crash the database server via a crafted SQL statement. The exp_ref path repeatedly descends through rel_unnest_dependent while processing a DELETE predicate combining DENSE_RANK, PARTITION BY count(*), and modulo. The public reproduction uses an authenticated mclient session and verifies that mserver5 terminates, interrupting database service.
