Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-57652 affects the numeric_to_dv component in OpenLink Virtuoso Open-Source version 7.2.11. The vulnerability enables attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition through specially 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), indicating high severity primarily due to its impact on availability, and is classified under CWE-89.
Remote attackers require no authentication or privileges and can exploit the issue over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation results in a DoS, disrupting service availability without affecting confidentiality or integrity.
