tokio-postgres: Panic on a DataRow with fewer fields than columns allows denial of service
GHSA-3gjw-f78c-vvpw
- Affected
- crates.io tokio-postgres >= 0.4.0, < 0.7.18
- Fixed in
- 0.7.18· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- A malicious or compromised server can send a row containing fewer fields than its row description declares columns. Reading one of the missing columns then panics with an out-of-bounds index, aborting the calling task. This affects even the otherwise non-panicking tryget, and both Row and SimpleQueryRow. Applications that connect only to a trusted database are not exposed; the risk applies to clients that may connect to untrusted or user-supplied servers, or whose connection can be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.7.18 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
