CVE-2016-9054: An exploitable stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the querying functionality of Aerospike...

An exploitable stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the querying functionality of Aerospike Database Server 3.10.0.3. A specially crafted packet can cause a stack-based buffer overflow in the function as_sindex__simatch_list_by_set_binid resulting in remote code execution. An attacker can simply connect to the port to trigger this vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Aerospike Database Server 3.10.0.3 has a critical remote code execution flaw in query handling. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach the service port may be able to crash the server or run code. The source bundle does not show active exploitation or a named fixed version. Exposure is most likely where Aerospike Database Server 3.10.0.3 is deployed and reachable by untrusted networks. The provided affected scope names only Aerospike Database Server version 3.10.0.3. Treat as urgent if Aerospike 3.10.0.3 exists anywhere reachable over a network. The business risk is full server compromise or outage without credentials. Prioritize inventory, exposure reduction, and vendor-guided upgrade decisions. Mitigation focus: Identify any Aerospike Database Server 3.10.0.3 instances.; Check Aerospike guidance for fixed releases or supported upgrade paths.; Restrict Aerospike ports to trusted application hosts and administration networks..
