CVE-2024-57618 is a vulnerability in the bind_col_exp component of MonetDB Server version 11.47.11. The issue enables attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by sending crafted SQL statements. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) and is linked to CWE-404 (Improper Resource Shutdown or Release). The vulnerability was published on 2025-01-14.

Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication privileges, user interaction, or special access requirements, as it is network-accessible with low attack complexity. Exploitation disrupts service availability with high impact, potentially crashing the MonetDB Server and making it unavailable to legitimate users, while having no effect on confidentiality or integrity.

Mitigation details are available in the referenced GitHub issue at https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7418.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect resource releases after code is written.

Engineering principles can require explicit resource acquisition/release patterns that stop improper shutdown from being introduced.

Priority-based resource allocation limits the blast radius when released resources are not returned to the pool.
