Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Rocksdb, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Affected versions of this crate called the RocksDB C API `rocksdb_open_column_families_with_ttl()` with a pointer to a single integer TTL value, but one TTL value for each column family is expected. This is only relevant when using `rocksdb::DBWithThreadMode::open_cf_descriptors_with_ttl()` with multiple column families. This bug has been fixed in v0.19.0.
