CVE-2026-35562: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Amazon Amazon Athena ODBC driver
CVE-2026-35562 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Amazon Athena ODBC driver prior to version 2. 1. 0. 0. It involves allocation of resources without limits or throttling in the driver's parsing components. This flaw can be exploited by an attacker supplying crafted input that causes excessive resource consumption, leading to denial of service. The issue does not impact confidentiality or integrity but affects availability. Users are advised to upgrade to version 2. 1. 0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Amazon Athena ODBC driver before version 2.1.0.0 contains a resource allocation vulnerability (CWE-770) in its parsing components. Specifically, the driver does not impose limits or throttling on resource usage when processing input, allowing crafted inputs to trigger excessive consumption of resources. This can result in denial of service conditions. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (high severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impact limited to availability. The vendor advisory recommends upgrading to version 2.1.0.0 to address the issue.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can cause denial of service by exhausting resources during parsing operations in the Amazon Athena ODBC driver. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade the Amazon Athena ODBC driver to version 2.1.0.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory. No additional mitigation steps are specified.
