Macro AQL_ADD_RELATION write data into stack based fixed size buffer named relations without any check on number and sizes of added relations.
Buffer is declared as:
aql.h:148:
struct aql_adt {
char relations[AQL_RELATION_LIMIT][RELATION_NAME_LENGTH + 1];
..

db-options.h:128
#define AQL_RELATION_LIMIT 3
db-options.h:167
#define RELATION_NAME_LENGTH 10

usage:
aql.h:191:
#define AQL_ADD_RELATION(adt, rel)
strcpy((adt)->relations[(adt)->relation_count++], (rel))

Following AQL code samples will trigger crash:
SELECT t FROM a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z

This could lead to Remote Code Execution via stack smashing attack (overwriting the function return address).
Please take a note, that before going over the whole aql_adt structure firstly other values in the struct are overwritten, which may produce other integrity issues.
The risk of this issue is reduced (Attack Vector:Local) because attacker would need to run malicious AQL query, however it is quite possible when using database in IoT application.

Proposed CVSS score:
CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H (9.3 - critical)

Mitigation:
Before adding relation to the struct the size of new relation and the number of already stored relations should be checked.
Please take a look at patch fixing this issue in TizenRT (using antelope engine as arastorage):
