Description

Improper Validation of Array Index (CWE-129) in the PostgreSQL protocol parser in Packetbeat can lead Denial of Service via Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153). An attacker can send a specially crafted packet causing a Go runtime panic that terminates the Packetbeat process. This vulnerability requires the pgsql protocol to be explicitly enabled and configured to monitor traffic on the targeted port.

Analysis

Packetbeat's PostgreSQL protocol parser improperly validates array indices, allowing authenticated attackers on the same network to crash the monitoring service by sending malicious packets. An attacker exploiting this denial-of-service vulnerability can terminate the Packetbeat process, disrupting monitoring capabilities on systems with PostgreSQL protocol monitoring enabled. …
