ClickHouse < 19.14

critical Nessus Plugin ID 216698

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of ClickHouse installed on the remote host is prior to 19.14. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. In all versions of ClickHouse before 19.14, an OOB read, OOB write and integer underflow in decompression algorithms can be used to achieve RCE or DoS via native protocol.

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 ClickHouse version 19.14 or later.
