Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Flaw remediation directly mitigates CVE-2024-57627 by patching the gc_col component in MonetDB Server v11.49.1 to prevent DoS from crafted SQL statements.
Information input validation neutralizes special elements in SQL statements, preventing SQL injection exploitation leading to DoS in the gc_col component.
Denial-of-service protection limits the impact of resource exhaustion or crashes triggered by crafted SQL statements in MonetDB Server.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Remote unauthenticated SQL injection in a public-facing database server directly enables exploitation of the application for DoS impact.
NVD Description
An issue in the gc_col component of MonetDB Server v11.49.1 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted SQL statements.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2024-57627 is a vulnerability in the gc_col component of MonetDB Server version 11.49.1. The issue enables attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by sending crafted SQL statements. It is associated with CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) and 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), indicating high severity primarily due to its impact on availability.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity, without requiring authentication, privileges, or user interaction. Successful exploitation results in a server crash or resource exhaustion, disrupting service availability while leaving confidentiality and integrity unaffected.
