Technical details

A vulnerability exists in the sqlo_untry component of OpenLink Virtuoso OpenSource v7.2.11. The issue is triggered during the processing of complex, nested SQL statements (specifically within CREATE TABLE constraints or SELECT queries), leading to a null pointer dereference or similar memory corruption that causes the database process to crash. An attacker can exploit this by submitting a malformed SQL query over the network without requiring prior authentication. The root cause is located in the SQL optimizer/compiler logic (sqlo_untry), as evidenced by stack traces showing a crash during DDL constraint definition.
