Title
MongoDB v8.3.0 Integer Underflow in LMDB mdb_load
Summary
This integer underflow vulnerability enables heap metadata corruption and
information disclosure through carefully crafted LMDB dump files.
*Impact:*
- *Denial of Service*: Immediate crash (confirmed)
- *Information Disclosure*: Heap metadata leak via OOB read
Root Cause:The readline() function fails to validate that the input line
length is non-zero before performing decrement operations, causing integer
underflow. An attacker can craft a malicious LMDB dump file containing
empty lines that trigger the vulnerability when processed by mdb_load:
*Output:*
./mdb_load -T /tmp/lmdb_asan <
/root/wiredtiger/third_party/openldap_liblmdb/findings/default/crashes/id:000007,sig:06,src:000012+000030,time:43032,execs:522id:000007,sig:06,src:000012+000030,time:43032,execs:52230,op:splice,rep:13
mdb_load.c:214:9: runtime error: addition of unsigned offset to
0x521000000100 overflowed to 0x5210000000ff
