Debian DLA-3107-1 : sqlite3 - LTS security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 164992

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3107 advisory.

- In SQlite 3.31.1, a potential null pointer derreference was found in the INTERSEC query processing.
(CVE-2020-35525)

- In SQLite 3.31.1, there is an out of bounds access problem through ALTER TABLE for views that have a nested FROM clause. (CVE-2020-35527)

- An issue was found in fts5UnicodeTokenize() in ext/fts5/fts5_tokenize.c in Sqlite. A unicode61 tokenizer configured to treat unicode control-characters (class Cc), was treating embedded nul characters as tokens. The issue was fixed in sqlite-3.34.0 and later. (CVE-2021-20223)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the sqlite3 packages.

For Debian 10 Buster, these problems have been fixed in version 3.27.2-3+deb10u2.
