Debian DLA-2203-1 : sqlite3 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 136368

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a denial of service attack in the SQLite database, often embedded into other programs and servers.

In the event of a semantic error in an aggregate query, SQLite did not return early from the 'resetAccumulator()' function which would lead to a crash via a segmentation fault.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in sqlite3 version 3.8.7.1-1+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your sqlite3 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
