DuckDB < 1.1.0 Unauthorized Filesystem Read (CVE-2024-41672)

high Nessus Plugin ID 212452

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of DuckDB installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-41672 advisory.

 - In versions 1.0.0 and prior, content in filesystem is accessible for reading using 'sniff_csv', even with 'enable_external_access=false'. This vulnerability provides an attacker with access to filesystem even when access is expected to be disabled and other similar functions do NOT provide access.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to DuckDB version 1.1.0 or later
